MySQL 5 Databases
Discover what relational databases are and whether using MySQL databases can be beneficial for your websites and applications.
MySQL is one of the most widely used database control systems on the market. A database is a set of cells with information that are organized in tables and the management system is the software that links the information to a script application. For example, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts etc inside a database and every time a website visitor opens a given thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which ought to be shown on a particular page. MySQL is quite popular due to its great performance, ease of use and the fact that it can work with a lot of popular scripting languages like PHP, Python, Perl, etcetera. All dynamic Internet sites that are designed with a script-driven application require some form of database and some of the most popular ones including Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress work with MySQL.
