README Overview ======== MySQL Keeper is a small tool for MySQL database deployment and daily maintanance. Software developers may use it as a deployment tool, and end users may use it as a maintenance tool. System requirement ================== MySQL Keeper may run on Win98/NT/2000/XP. The program can work with MySQL database server running on Win98/NT/2000/XP and Linux. Basic feature of MySQL Keeper ============================= Basic feature of MySQL Keeper: * The end users may use it to backup database, restore database, repair database and optimize database with a few mouse clicks. * The end user may have the Keeper to backup databases daily or weekly automatically at the background, controled by Windows Scheduler. * As an option, the backup tables could be compressed into a ZIP file, and could be restored from the ZIP file. * During the deployment of the business applications, the setup program may call MySQL Keeper to install up to 2 databases, normally, a blank database and a demo database. The goal of MySQL Keeper is to encourage software developers to use MySQL server as replacement of file-base databases like Access, dBase or Paradox etc. This program is very useful and convenient for small and medium companies without professional DBA presenting. This program is distributed as freeware. Troubleshooting =============== At the end of installing MySQL Keeper, the installer may complain that it could not replace "LibMySql.DLL" in Windows' System folder. The installer tried to install LibMySql.DLL coming with MySQL Windows distribution. If any program is using the dll file, of course the installer can not replace it. In addition, for some reasons, MySQL AB did not put version information in the DLL file, so the installer always will try to replace it if the existing file is older according to the file timestamp. ============================================================================== MySQL Keeper v 1.1 Copyright (c) 2002-2003 Zijian Huang, All Rights Reserved http://www.fonlow.com/mysqlkeeper/
