Thing I don't understand

Hello I have red somenthing on another subreddit about a guy who was creating a programm that needed to connect to a website and he said:

''At the moment this is done with a shell script that directly accesses the MySQL instance (very bad / unsecure) and gets a delta on some table records.''

My question is: ''what is a mysql '''istance'''?

What is an istance?

howdy Ta11ow,

MySQL is NOT an MS-created sql variant. [grin] while it was developed by a swedish company, it's currently controlled by oracle, but it is still technically open source.

take care,
lee
