MySQL is the most widely used Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) in the world, supplying around a third of current applications with data. MySQL uses a standardized SQL data language and works on many operating systems with drivers that allow developers to connect with all of the popular programming languages. It's a free, open-source, trusted database management system used by the likes of WordPress, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, created in 1995. and later on bought by Sun Microsystems in 2008. Sun Microsystems was then acquired by Oracle in 2010, leaving MySQL in their ownership. In this article, we'll download and install MySQL on Windows and validate how it works by creating a simple database with a couple of tables. How to Set Up MySQLWindows (especially Windows 10) requires a bit of work. To download the latest version of MySQL you need to go to the official website and download the community version. The installer is fairly straightforward but you might run into several . If you don't run into any problems - choose a password and wait for the installation procedure to go through all its paces. Now, depending on which language you wish to use MySQL with, you'll need to install a Connector which is basically a driver specific for every language. For an example, Connector/J is the official Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) driver, whereas Connector/Python is the official Python connector. All of the connectors can be found on the MySQL Downloads page. We'll be using a > mysql -u root -p simplepassword
5 user with the password > mysql -u root -p simplepassword
6. Many people decide to leave the password blank, to make things simpler on their dev environment.Now that we have MySQL (hopefully) installed on Windows, you should either navigate to the installation > mysql -u root -p simplepassword
7 folder which is most likely something along the lines of > mysql -u root -p simplepassword
8 in the command line:> cd C:\Program files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin
Or add the bin folder to path environment variable by going to System Properties -> Environment Variables -> Path and adding a path to your > mysql -u root -p simplepassword
7 folder:Setting Up the DatabaseWe'll create an example database called Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.

2 table:Looks like our database works just fine! Windows 10 Installation IssuesThe installer starts, but then stops on it's own. Potential solutions: Failing requirements: - If during the installation you get a message saying you have "Failing requirements", going back to the "choosing a setup type" tab and choosing "custom" and then removing the failing requirements (if you don't have excel installed for example) might solve the issue.
ConclusionMySQL is the most widely used Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) in the world, supplying around a third of current applications with data. It uses a standardized SQL data language and works on many operating systems with drivers that allow developers to connect with all of the popular programming languages. We've installed and set up a simple database with a couple of tables to validate if it's working properly.
