MySQL is among the most commonly used database control systems on the market. A database is a collection of cells with information that are arranged in tables and the control system is the piece of software which links the data to a script application. As an illustration, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts etc inside a database and every single time a visitor opens a given thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content that should be displayed on a certain page. MySQL is really popular due to its excellent functionality, simplicity and the fact that it can function with a lot of popular scripting languages including PHP, Python, Perl, and so on. All dynamic Internet sites which are built with a script-driven app require some kind of database and some of the most widely used ones like Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress work with MySQL.
