MySQL is among the most widespread database control systems on the market. A database is a group of cells with data that are arranged in tables and the administration system is the software that links the data to a script application. As an illustration, a forum stores all posts, usernames, avatars etc within a database and every single time a website visitor opens a particular thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which has to be accessible on a specific page. MySQL is quite popular because of its terrific functionality, convenience and the fact that it can work with lots of popular scripting languages including PHP, Python, Perl, etcetera. All dynamic Internet sites which are built with a script-driven application need some kind of database and a lot of the most popular ones such as Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress use MySQL.
