MySQL is one of the most widely used database control systems out there. A database is a collection of cells with info which are structured in tables and the management system is the piece of software that links the data to a script app. For example, a forum stores all posts, usernames, avatars and so forth within a database and every time a site visitor opens a given thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content that has to be shown on a particular page. MySQL is really popular due to its terrific performance, simplicity and the fact that it can work with numerous popular scripting languages like PHP, Python, Perl, etc. All dynamic websites that are developed with a script-driven app need some kind of database and a number of the most popular ones such as Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress work with MySQL.
