MySQL is a SQL (Structured Query Language) database server. SQL is the

most popular database language in the world.  MySQL is a client-server
implementation that consists of a server daemon `mysqld' and many
different client programs/libraries.

The main goals of MySQL are speed and robustness.

The base upon which MySQL is built is a set of routines that have been
used in a highly demanding production environment for many years.  While
MySQL is still in development it already offers a rich and highly useful
function set.

The official way to pronounce 'MySQL' is 'My Ess Que Ell' (Not MY-SEQUEL).

This package contains the MySQL server programs and libraries.

+
+The MySQL directory `${MYSQL_DATADIR}' should be owned by the
+user `${MYSQL_USER}' and group `${MYSQL_GROUP}'.  This can be done with:
+	chown -R ${MYSQL_USER}:${MYSQL_GROUP} ${MYSQL_DATADIR}
+
+
+If this is a new installation, please remember to set a password for
+the MySQL root user!  This is done by running both:
+	${PREFIX}/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password'
+	${PREFIX}/bin/mysqladmin -h `hostname` -u root -p password 'new-password'
+(The "Enter password:" prompt is asking for the existing password.
+As there is no existing password, just press Return.)
+
+There is now a script distributed with mysql that can help you lock
+down an installation.  This script has been installed to 
+${PREFIX}/bin/mysql_secure_installation.
+
+See the manual and the mysql web site for more instructions.
