Though this product's name tends to indicate that it's purely a database tool, NuSphere MySQL is really a suite of four open-source software packages--proven, popular, and well-supported ones--that work together to run interactive, dynamic Internet sites. This package is comprised of the MySQL relational database management system (RDBMS), interpreters for the Perl and PHP languages, and the Apache Web server. It's far from just a straight CD-ROM distribution of publicly available software, though. NuSphere has done a great job of automating the packages' installation processes--this suite installs on both Windows and Linux--so the four utilities interoperate smoothly. You can also install any or all of the suite's components manually, or compile from the included source code.
