Options for Database Management Systems

You have (at least) 3 options when it comes to using a database management system
  1. The department hosts a MySql server on satoshi.cis.uncw.edu. All students in this class will have access to the machine. Use software like Putty to log into the machine and use MySql on the machine. This is the default option.
  2. Install sqlite on your own personal computer. For the purposes of the class, sqlite provides all the functionality you will need.
  3. Install mysql on your own personal computer. Similar to option 1 except you don't have to log into a different machine.
