MySQL 5 Databases

Discover what relational databases are and if using MySQL databases can be beneficial for your websites and applications.

MySQL is one of the most commonly used database management systems in existence. A database is a collection of cells with data which are arranged in tables and the management system is the software which links the info to a script application. For example, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts and so forth in a database and every single time a site visitor opens a specific thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which needs to be accessible on a particular page. MySQL is quite popular due to its excellent performance, simplicity of use and the fact that it can work with many popular scripting languages including PHP, Python, Perl, etc. All dynamic Internet sites which are developed with a script-driven application require some type of database and many of the most widely used ones like Joomla^™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress work with MySQL.
