MySQL is among the most popular database management systems on the market. A database is a collection of cells with information that are arranged in tables and the management system is the software which links the data to a script application. For example, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts etc inside a database and every single time a site visitor opens a specific thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content that has to be displayed on a specific page. MySQL is extremely popular because of its superb performance, ease of use and the fact that it can work with many popular scripting languages including PHP, Python, Perl, etcetera. All dynamic websites that are developed with a script-driven application need some type of database and a number of the most widely used ones like Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress work with MySQL.
