MySQL is a relational database software that is used in Computer Science as a learning tool. It is primarily used in CIS2750 and CIS3540.

MySQL is provided by the open source replacement software MariaDB, however all commands are are compatible with the traditional MySQL workflow.

The server is hosted at dursley.socs.uoguelph.ca.

The dursley-user-importy.py script in the sysadmin scripts repository is used to set up access for students. The script needs to be modified with the ldap group to import and will create a user account for each student, password set to their student number, as well as a database using the username of the student.
