MySQL is one of the most widespread database administration systems out there. A database is a set of cells with data that are organized in tables and the management system is the piece of software which links the info to a script application. For example, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts etc inside a database and every time a site visitor opens a specific thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which should be accessible on a specific page. MySQL is very popular due to its great functionality, ease of use and the fact that it can operate with numerous popular scripting languages like PHP, Python, Perl, etc. All dynamic Internet sites that are developed with a script-driven app require some kind of database and a number of the most popular ones such as Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress use MySQL.
