About MySQL

MySQL is a relational database management system that is based on SQL. The name of this open-source relational database management system has been named after ‘My’, the daughter of the co-founder Michael Widenius combined with the abbreviation SQL which stands for Structured Query Language.

However, the most common use of MySQL is for web database purposes. MySQL can be put to use for storing anything—right from small information record to a large database of the inventory of products available to sell online.

When websites are created in association with scripting languages such as PHP or Perl, it is possible to make them interact with the database of MySQL in real-time. This enables the display of searchable information to the user in no time.
