Guide to MySQL for Microsoft Windows

For many years, Microsoft Windows has been the most popular development platform and second most popular production platform for organizations developing MySQL applications. In early 2009 we conducted our annual survey and what we found is that 66% percent of those surveyed used Windows for development and 48% ultimately deployed into production on Windows. For some, this fact may come as a surprise given MySQL's ubiquity as the "M" in the open source Linux, Apache, PHP, Perl and Python (LAMP) stack. However, as we will discover over the course of this paper, MySQL on Windows continues to be a popular choice for independent software vendors, original equipment manufacturers, hosting providers and organizations developing custom web, departmental and enterprise applications.
