MySQL on Windows - Why, Where and How

While MySQL is famously known as the "M" of the popular LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl/Python), Microsoft Windows consistently ranks as the #1 development platform for MySQL users in our surveys. As a matter of fact, Windows now also ranks higher than any Linux distribution as a deployment platform among MySQL Community Edition users.

Why is the world's most popular open source database so popular on Windows? What are the applications for which one should consider MySQL on Microsoft's platform? How should Windows shops relying on Microsoft databases get going with MySQL?

Those are the questions we aim to answer in this guide.
