MySQL is one of the most widely used database management systems in existence. A database is a collection of cells with info that are structured in tables and the control system is the software which links the data to a script app. As an example, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts and so forth inside a database and every time a site visitor opens a specific thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content that ought to be displayed on a particular page. MySQL is extremely popular because of its great functionality, simplicity of use and the fact that it can function with many popular scripting languages such as PHP, Python, Perl, etcetera. All dynamic websites which are developed with a script-driven app need some kind of database and a number of the most widely used ones like Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress employ MySQL.
