This may be basic question but I am pretty new to MySQL and server setup. I am going to install a different os where I will have LAMP setup, earlier I installed on Rasbian Jessie each of those manually.
How do I backup and restore to a different server.
Just install MySQL server and you will able to connect to DB from any environment. Also you can connect to remote database if you have some host for example

This is very novice question I am very new to working with Databases, primarily an user of R, also comfortable Bash Unix Shell. I have a MySQL server 5.7 installed on windows 10 laptop and have been using Workbench for accessing or populating databases.
I want to have a good command of in-database analytics and had a few broad questions.
Its easy to access MySQL database on my laptop from R on my laptop that was simple. Also if I go to windows command line and type mysql -u -root -p from the directory MySQL/MySQL Server 5.7/bin in can start typing SQL commands at mysql prompt.
My question is, regarding accessing my MySQL databases in my laptop or any other mysql server. From a remote Linux session on a VM, or after starting R in that Linux session. I linux can I install a mysql client alone on a Linux VM and access MySQL databases or do I have to install MySQL server as well.
My premonition was that I wouldn't have to install the server but I was experimenting in Windows Linux Subsystem(WLS) (which is a source of confusion itself since WLS is a new thing and I didn't want to generalize what I learn from experimenting in WLS to working from a remote Linux machine.
Then there is another question of working off a Linux in Virtual Box installed on my windows.
To simplify my question I would like at least know be certain about does one need to install mysql server to and have it running to access any mysql database on another machine or will it suffice to have a mysql client installed?
Your input will be greatly appreciated, as I have been only successful in trying to use my WLS and read several post/blogs I would like to be clear about how MySQL works before continuing my experiments.
Ideally I would like to query data from any bash shell that I can find or any R session.
Thanks
No, you do not need to install mysql server on a computer to be able to access another mysql server remotely. The client will suffice.
I downloaded the ff: Mysql Workbench, Mysql Community Server and Xampp (latest).
I found out that recent xampp version is no longer using MySQL as database server instead it uses MariaDB. Apparently, MySQL workbench is not compatible with MariaDB.
There was a suggestion in previous forum to turnoff MariaDB and turn on MySQL Server on and it will automatically connect to xampp localhost. Which it did not, rather it shows an error message
Please advise what files needs to be configured to connect my xampp localhost and my manage server control user to mysql database server in OS X (macbook pro).
I just got an answer from XAMPP developers that they build and test the XAMPP installers with bundled components and try to configure it to use external services will be error prone.
I have installed both wampserver64 and MySQL server 5.7. The MySQL service from wampserver64 on port 3307 and MySQL server 5.7 on 3306. After trying the androidhive tutorial for connection android app to remote mysql database (which never worked). I noticed that databases created with phpmyadmin doesn´t show up on MySQL server 5.7 and viceversa.
How can i "force" wampserver64´s mysql service to use MySQL server 5.7 that´s on port 3306?
I think changing this line will...
...but my MySQL server 5.7 has no data folder on it (i´ve installed and reinstalled mysql server many times, dont know where is it)
You absolutely should not share the data dir with two MySQL installations that are running at the same time. That can lead to corrupted databases and missing data.
You can configure your phpMyAdmin to talk to both MySQL instances by adding another server in the configuration file, config.inc.php.
If you want to make wampserver use the other MySQL installation completely, the proper way to do so is to edit the configuration files of wampserver to point to the other MySQL server's port or socket rather than to have the two MySQL services share the same datadir.
I want to use same database on my Ubuntu installation as of Windows 7, I've already changed datadir in my /opt/lampp/etc/my.cnf and /etc/mysql/my.cnf to Windows path like this: /media/Data/xampp/mysql/data but it still doesn't work how can I connect to database from Windows installation?
You could "update" databases on a set interval using cronjobs.
Here is how to "sync" 2 databases on remote hosts
Here is how to establish cronjobs
A disadvantage would be that you'd have to dump the entire database which could dramatically slow down the process.
Please note that those articles are exclusively related to some linux distros.
I am extremly new with databases. I have only created one, and that was in SQLite on android. I downloaded MySQL Admin for linux (Ubuntu) and downloaded and installed Admin. Now I want to create a database, but I jave know idea what I'm doing. I created a connection via the drop down menu option 'Open Connection Editor', and I keep getting a 'MySQL Error Nr. 2005' error. Do I have to do something command line wise first to set up the database?
Any help is appreciated.
Aedon
MySQL is different to SQLite in that you need to have some server software running the whole time managing the database. It's that server software that you connect a MySQL client to.
You need to grab yourself a copy of MySQL Server then I'd recommend this tutorial
Good luck!
If you are using Ubuntu you can install MySQL Server easily with this command:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
and then I suggest you to download MySQL Workbench, it's a GUI Tool where you can do almost everything with MySQL databases (create,drop,alter, modeling, administer the service).
Then, you can create a connection with mysql workbench or mysql admin (or another client) and do your stuff. If you installed the server in your PC then the parameter are something like this:
host = localhost
user = root
password = (the password you specified in the installation)
