If you need to create or
manipulate a MySQL database then you will need to create an account on
ivy.shu.ac.uk.
Sometimes you might be using
a piece of software that requires MySQL such as an open source Content
Management System. Check the details of the software you are about to use so
that you can register for a MySQL account if need be.
Also, PHP and Perl are
installed on the same server, so you can explore database access via
server-side scripting. This is what is often referred to as a 'LAMP' platform
(Linux/Unix, Apache, MySQL and PHP/Perl).
