4.1 Overview of MySQL Programs

MySQL AB provides several types of programs:

The MYSQL server and server startup scripts:

Client programs that access the server:

Utility programs that operate independently of the server:

More information on running the server may be found in 13.5 Database Administration Statements. Client and utility programs are described in more detail in 8. MySQL Client and Utility Programs.

Most MySQL distribution formats include all of these programs, except for those programs that are platform-specific. (For example, the server startup scripts are not used on Windows.) The exception is that RPM distributions are more specialized. There is one RPM for the server, another for the client programs, and so forth. If you appear to be missing one or more programs, see 2. Installing MySQL for information on distributions and what they contain. It may be that you need to install something else.
