A Quick Look at MySQL 6.0’s New Backup
I still remember the day. I was working for a large systems integrator on a very major account, and had responsibility for some DB2 databases, but also had the unfortunate duty of also taking care of some legacy IMS databases (hierarchical IBM databases used quite a lot ‘back in the day'), which I knew next to nothing about. One morning I was asked to make a small change to a very large and prominent IMS database - just remove one record - what could go wrong? The guy who knew IMS real well was gone so I put together a program to do the job (yes, you actually had to write a program to do it), and ran it after hours. I came in the next day and tried to access some records in the database. Nothing. All gone, except for - ta-da - the one record I wanted to remove! At the instant I realized my mistake, I was acutely aware of two things: (1) I was in serious trouble if I didn't have a backup, and (2) I was in desperate need of a complete change in underwear.

mysqld

MYSQLD(8)						       MySQL Database System							 MYSQLD(8)

NAME

       mysqld - the MySQL server

SYNOPSIS

       mysqld [options]

DESCRIPTION

       mysqld, also known as MySQL Server, is the main program that does most of the work in a MySQL installation. MySQL Server manages access to
       the MySQL data directory that contains databases and tables. The data directory is also the default location for other information such as
       log files and status files.

       When MySQL server starts, it listens for network connections from client programs and manages access to databases on behalf of those
       clients.

       The mysqld program has many options that can be specified at startup. For a complete list of options, run this command:

	   shell> mysqld --verbose --help

       MySQL Server also has a set of system variables that affect its operation as it runs. System variables can be set at server startup, and
       many of them can be changed at runtime to effect dynamic server reconfiguration. MySQL Server also has a set of status variables that
       provide information about its operation. You can monitor these status variables to access runtime performance characteristics.

       For a full description of MySQL Server command options, system variables, and status variables, see Section 5.1, "The MySQL Server". For
       information about installing MySQL and setting up the initial configuration, see Chapter 2, Installing and Upgrading MySQL.
