MySQL

MySQL is a very popular data base available on many www servers along with PHP. Most of Content Management Systems designed in PHP use MySQL as a store for all the content of the web site designed and maintained with their use.

HERMES www server also runs MySQL available to all members whose php scripts require access to the data base. However, before MySQL is available to such scripts, you have to register as a MySQL user by clicking Login in the menu, and MySQL > Maintenance in the top menu. Then, you are asked to choose a password for your data bases (separate from his/her system password). When your password is accepted, you can create and destroy your own data bases manually, or you can leave that to a content management system that you intend to use.

Having registered yourself as a MySQL user, you can also access MySQL directly, and create/modify/backup/restore/destroy your own data bases or their elements by clicking Login in the menu and MySQL > Myadmin in the top menu. Myadmin is a web based MySQL interface allowing its users to manipulate their data bases any way they like. However, users who are not very familiar with the query language of MySQL are advised to leave manipulation of their data bases to the php scripts that require MySQL, except for backup and restore facilities of Myadmin. If the scripts do not provide such facilitites, by all means use those of Myadmin..
