4.7.1 Overview of the Server-Side Scripts and Utilities
All MySQL programs take many different options. However, every
MySQL program provides a --help option that you can use
to get a full description of the program's different options. For example, try
mysql --help.
You can override default options for all standard programs with an option file. section 4.1.2 `my.cnf' Option Files.
The following list briefly describes the server-side MySQL programs:
myisamchk-
Utility to describe, check, optimise, and repair MySQL tables.
Because
myisamchkhas many functions, it is described in its own chapter. See section 4 Database Administration. make_binary_distribution-
Makes a binary release of a compiled MySQL. This could be sent
by FTP to `/pub/mysql/Incoming' on
support.mysql.comfor the convenience of other MySQL users. mysqlbug- The MySQL bug report script. This script should always be used when filing a bug report to the MySQL list.
mysqld- The SQL daemon. This should always be running.
mysql_install_db- Creates the MySQL grant tables with default privileges. This is usually executed only once, when first installing MySQL on a system.
