Live Webinar: MySQL Essentials for ISVs & OEMs, Part II: Deployment and Data Security

Thursday, September 22, 2011

The way your product's database deploys impacts your customers' experience of your product - from trial and installation, to administration and customization / optimization options. Your product's data security can have great impact on your customers' overall satisfaction. Both are important to getting and keeping your customers.

Deployment: MySQL deployments are typically fast and easy - even for your non-technical customers. MySQL may be bundled with or deeply embedded to run as a process in your application with invisible installation and zero administration. MySQL Engineer and Expert, Dale Dasker, will help you determine which deployment option is best for your product. He will show you step-by-step how to:

  • Develop a silent install process
  • Run MySQL as an executable process
  • Deeply Embed MySQL library (libmysqld) in your application

Security: MySQL database's default settings assume restricted access to the physical server and restricted file systems privileges but this is often not the case with embedded or bundled databases. Dale will show you how to use the following strategies to prevent data file tampering:

  • Set MySQL to install securely
  • Obscure InnoDB data files
  • Make your application aware of database tampering
