Summary
In this chapter, you have learned what a relational database is and what the differences are between a DBMS database and an RDBMS database. You learned about the client-server model used by MySQL and had a brief introduction to the MySQL architecture to see how MySQL works.
You then explored what layers make up MySQL, how to define different data models, and added tables to those data models. You also went through the basic concepts of ACID and how to initialize your database.
In the next chapter, you will further improve your knowledge of data modeling, entity relationships, and how to use the MySQL Workbench to set up/configure databases.
