Is this a right thing to do? I am using the Apache/Tomcat that comes with the liferay portal bundle and I used the MySQL that comes with WampServer at home but now I want to transfer my portal to a real Server and I wanted to know whether I could still use the Wamp's MySQL or should I install a real MySQL (What's the difference?)
Thanks in advance.
WAMPS MySQL server is not artificial, its the real deal. WAMP just bundles these softwares together and lets you deploy easily for development purposes. In a production environment you would deploy MySQL as a separate software and tweak it according to your needs. You CAN you WAMP on production environment, however you will need to make sure that you do not have any security flaws in there.

My company has two web based project. Our main project (Starbooks) was built using xampp server and Codeigniter framework that installed in our Windows OS and the second project (Frontlearners) was built in Lamp server and moodle (LMS) framework with Postgres database that installed in ubuntu platform.
My goal is to collide this two projects into one by moving the second project (Frontlearners) into the main project (Starbooks) server which uses with xampp server windows platform.
My first attempt is to export the moodle Postgres database using PGAdmin then move the moodle project to the main project server on windows. But I don't know if this is the correct way or not because Postgres and mysql are different database type. I've searching across the internet hoping for the answer or tutorial related to my problem but the results are always fresh installation of moodle which is not related to my problem.
Anybody knows how to solve this problem, a tutorial link, or any article about this situation?
There is a database transfer tool in Moodle.
https://docs.moodle.org/311/en/Database_transfer
So you can convert the PostgreSQL database to MariaDB
First ensure MariaDB is installed on Ubuntu
Turn off cron and put the site in maintenance mode
Then go to Site administration > Development > Experimental > Database migration to convert the database.
Or direct to /admin/tool/dbtransfer/index.php
The tool will check the database structure matches the structures in the install.xml files. If there are any differences, then you will need to update the relevant install.xml file or database table before continuing.
If its a large database, then the UI will probably time out. So use the command line version instead:
php admin/tool/dbtransfer/cli/migrate.php --help
Having said all that, IMHO I would transfer the Windows project to Linux.
I am connection to a LAMP Server trough PuTTY.
I have no idea if there is a GUI available so I'm doing this trough the CLI. The problem now is that I need certain fields from the database and I have no idea how the database looks since the lack of documentation.
How should I approach this. In the database there are 148 tables. Should I just go trough every table one at a time? Is there a smart way?
Thanks.
You could always install PHPMyAdmin, but if you don't have access to do so, you can try MySQL Workbench. This installs on your computer, and you just put in your server info and connect
There's plenty of GUI tools available for MySQL, some that you normally install on the server and others that you run on your desktop, here's a short list:
MySQL Workbench - Official mysql gui tool with really nice features (especially coming to db design)
PHPMyAdmin - web based interface, can be installed on the server and reached through a web interface.
HeidiSQL (free, windows) - desktop app
SQLYog (lot's of features, costs money) - desktop app
Sequel Pro (free, slim and good for macosx) - desktop app
You can also use the mysql-query browser for connect database.

This is my first question ever at stackoverflow, hope I make sense out of it. I am starting to learn about databases and also programming these days. So I would want to get some advice on MySQL database. Though it's open source and available for download, Should I install the standalone MySQL GUI version on my laptop (Windows 7 32bit) or should I install XAMPP and then access it through phpMyAdmin ?? My purpose of asking this question is that , for starters..I am learning SQL and querying. And then I would want to learn to create web application using php or JavaEE.
I am completely unaware of these concepts, so I would appreciate if someone can just take few minutes and guide me accordingly.
Thanks !

and welcome :)
If you're planning on concentrating on PHP more than MySQL, it's a good start to install XAMPP. It's more lightweight and contains both PHP and Mysql. It's better for you to concentrate on learning the basics first, rather than spend time on software components. That's why I would choose XAMPP (or my personal favorite: WAMP Server)
If you'd like to spend a bit more time on database management such as user management, jobs,... it could be interesting to download the Mysql server package from their site.
Also, that package comes with example databases which you can use to learn some SELECT and UPDATE queries. It queries a lot easier that PHPMyAdmin.
If your goal is to use MySQL with self-made applications, get XAMPP and learn some PHP before diving into queries
And then I would want to learn to create web application using php
In this case XAMPP should be your friend. BTW with XAMPP you get an MySQL-Server which is identically with the MySQL standalone. You can fire your querys by using phpmyadmin, or connect via shell (console) or thridparty programms ....
In case that you are using NPM, you can install a standalone version of MySQL using the mysql-server package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/mysql-server
I have a VPS with Liquidweb, which currently uses a standard LAMP stack. I want to replace/supplement the installed version of MySQL with Percona, specifically to leverage XtraDB's advanced features. My initial request to their SysAdmins was they don't support that since its a nonstandard install.
My question is has anyone successfully run Percona in a WHM/Cpanel controlled environment? How did you install Percona? Did you have any problems? How do you maintain that installation? Were you able to have WHM "automatically" upgrade Percona, or at least prevent it from upgrading Percona down to MySQL? Is there a better way?
As a background, I am a software developer. I can run make, but managing a secure DB installation is beyond my scope.
http://www.ecommy.com/linux/install-percona-in-a-whm-cpanel-environment
also:
http://forums.cpanel.net/f5/installing-percona-mysql-track-queries-per-user-table-access-volumes-103477.html
The install is pretty straight forward. The database upgrading will not be managed within WHM/cpanel, so you would need to use your own method to administer updates. You should be able to install Maria in about the same matter.
I would personally keep a close eye on the installed database when cpanel does an update, just to make sure that it doesn't do something crazy like kicking the Percona version out. But, it should work without too much fuss.
There are alot of applications like MAMP, WAMP, etc. That come with a version of mysql that needs no installation and can be turned on and off easily. I am trying to create a web based application that will use a mysql database, where do you get mysql to bundle and how is it done so the user doesn't have to install it?
you can get it mysql
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/
you can used php, ruby (rubyonrails) or java for developed application. in the case php install xampp.
MAMP, WAMP, etc. all have a bunch of configuration that is already set up for them. Essentially they've installed MySQL and everything else included under a single directory that doesn't rely on anything outside that directory and then zipped it up together. I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but that really seems like overkill. May I suggest checking out sqlite? It's designed for bundling and embedding and will be quite a bit easier to deal with.
Are you truly creating a Web Based app or are you wanting to create a desktop application using web scripting languages?
If you are creating a web app, you shouldn't need to bundle MySQL since when you deploy to your hosting environment it should already be in place. If you truly need to package everything you'd be best off offering your software as a virtual machine appliance with the appropriate services already configured and running.
If you are creating a desktop app, that's a whole other issue.
