MySQL 5 Databases

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

MySQL is among the most commonly used database management systems in existence. A database is a collection of cells with info which are structured in tables and the administration system is the software which links the info to a script app. As an example, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts and so forth in a database and each time a website visitor opens a particular thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content that has to be accessible on a particular page. MySQL is extremely popular due to its great performance, ease of use and the fact that it can work with numerous popular scripting languages such as PHP, Python, Perl, etc. All dynamic websites which are developed with a script-driven app need some form of database and many of the most widely used ones including Joomla^™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress employ MySQL.
