MySQL is among the most widespread database management systems available. A database is a set of cells with data that are structured in tables and the management system is the software which links the information to a script application. As an illustration, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts etc in a database and every time a site visitor opens a particular thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content that should be displayed on a specific page. MySQL is very popular because of its terrific performance, simplicity of use and the fact that it can function with lots of popular scripting languages such as PHP, Python, Perl, and so on. All dynamic sites that are developed with a script-driven app need some form of database and some of the most widely used ones like Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress employ MySQL.
