MySQL is one of the most widespread database control systems on the market. A database is a collection of cells with data which are arranged in tables and the management system is the software that links the information to a script app. For instance, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts etc in a database and each time a website visitor opens a given thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which should be accessible on a particular page. MySQL is very popular because of its terrific functionality, ease of use and the fact that it can function with a lot of popular scripting languages like PHP, Python, Perl, etc. All dynamic websites which are designed with a script-driven application require some form of database and many of the most popular ones such as Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress use MySQL.
