Replication came later - but the fact that you could do
sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client
sudo -i mysql
and be logged in as admin into mysql database was indeed a huge reason for defaulting to it.
EDIT: Of course, at that time, there was no Ubuntu teaching everyone to sudo all the time, so drop all instances of sudo and add a su - at start ;)
- tomnipotent 4y agoMySQL has had replication since May 2000.
- p_l 4y agoReplication being easier as driver for developers defaulting to MySQL
- masklinn 4y agoMysql also came with pretty much any webhost.
- p_l 4y agoThat's exactly my point. A lot of people started with dynamic websites by using cheap webhosting that you FTP'ed your PHP files to, and used PhpMyAdmin to manage your smallish database, and 2000-2009 they still formed a strong portion of market for starting out (I chose 2009 because that's when EC2 becomes more accessible for this due to RDS)
- porker 4y ago> Of course, at that time, there was no Ubuntu teaching everyone to sudo all the time Maybe that's why I am used to logging in as root rather than a user. I started in 1999 and have been surprised how few users now do
- flumpcakes 4y agoMost prod configs I've seen now days disable SSH-ing in as root and password auth so it just becomes: $ ssh user@server <rsa key> $ sudo -i <user pass> #
