MySQL is one of the most widespread database admin systems in existence. A database is a set of cells with info that are structured in tables and the control system is the piece of software that links the data to a script app. As an illustration, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts and so forth inside a database and every single time a website visitor opens a given thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content that should be shown on a particular page. MySQL is extremely popular because of its terrific performance, simplicity of use and the fact that it can operate with lots of popular scripting languages such as PHP, Python, Perl, etc. All dynamic sites that are developed with a script-driven app need some form of database and many of the most popular ones like Joomla, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress work with MySQL.
