“… We’ve decided that it’s time to feature some of the attributes that won
MySQL that award. With easy installation and features such as database replication and
integration with Perl, MySQL provides a scalable database solution for everyone from small
developers to large database dependent applications.

“First, if you don’t have MySQL on your system already, you can download it from
http://www.mysql.com/downloads. The latest, official, stable release (as of this writing) is
3.22.32. However, the newer 3.23.xx releases are now listed as “gamma” and are quite stable
and recommended for new installations. The MySQL development team labels their releases
conservatively. Therefore, in this article we will be working with the 3.23.30 release.”
