MySQL is among the most widespread database control systems in existence. A database is a collection of cells with data that are arranged in tables and the management system is the piece of software which links the info to a script application. As an example, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts etc in a database and each time a visitor opens a specific thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which has to be displayed on a specific page. MySQL is quite popular because of its excellent functionality, simplicity and the fact that it can operate with lots of popular scripting languages such as PHP, Python, Perl, etc. All dynamic websites which are built with a script-driven app require some form of database and a lot of the most widely used ones including Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress employ MySQL.
