[QUOTE="npoussin, post: 223984"] I'm not an IT grad, and I don't have much knowledge other than what I've picked up over time, but I've coded a few websites with MySql over the years and I really like it as a back-end to a dynamically-generated PHP-powered site. With the knowledge I already had about MySql, I found it actually very easy to install on the Mac (I have a brand spanking new iMac that I'm very proud of). I've installed MySql on Windows and Linux before, and I found this easier - it was up and running in very little time, with only a little messing around looking for the mysql client which got installed in some confusing directory. The .dmg file basically did all the grunt work for me. (No makefile, no compile, no recompiling because you got the options wrong, and so on). After that, you need to know how to secure the server, set up user accounts, change passwords and create and manage databases, but that's nothing to do with a Mac, since it's idential on all platforms. There's always a glitch somewhere - mine was finding the client program, but frankly, I've had far worse glitches on every other platform than I have on the mac. [/QUOTE]
