Tips & Hints
MySQL Storage Engine Architecture, Part 1: An Overview
This is the first of a three-part series on the MySQL storage engine
architecture on the new "Developer Zone" area of our web site.
MySQL Server features a concept called storage engines, or table
types. The server and, in fact, the developer, can choose how and
where a database table is stored. Developers and Database
Administrators (DBAs) are traditionally insulated from the physical
storage methods that the database server may employ. However, MySQL
users can benefit from understanding the MySQL Storage Engine
Architecture in more detail in order to optimize their applications.

database-driven web pages using PHP and MySQL. This article begins
with a discussion of a database-driven architecture followed by how
to connect to a database, performing a query, retrieving a result set,
and closing a database connection.
