Internals And Portability

• MySQL is:
  • Written in C and C++.
  • Tested with a broad range of different compilers.
  • Designed as multi-layered with independent modules.
  • Fully multi-threaded using kernel threads.
    • It can easily use multiple CPUs if they are available.
  • Very fast because it has a thread-based memory allocation system.
    • Joins use an optimized one-sweep multi-join.
    • Uses highly optimized library functions.
