MySQL is among the most commonly used database management systems in existence. A database is a group of cells with data that are arranged in tables and the management system is the software that links the information to a script application. As an example, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts etc inside a database and each time a visitor opens a given thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which should be shown on a certain page. MySQL is extremely popular due to its terrific functionality, ease of use and the fact that it can operate with numerous popular scripting languages including PHP, Python, Perl, and so on. All dynamic web sites that are designed with a script-driven app need some kind of database and many of the most widely used ones like Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress use MySQL.
