MySQL is one of the most widely used database management systems on the market. A database is a collection of cells with info which are arranged in tables and the control system is the piece of software that links the info to a script application. For example, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts and so on within a database and each time a website visitor opens a particular thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content that should be shown on a specific page. MySQL is quite popular due to its superb performance, convenience and the fact that it can operate with many popular scripting languages such as PHP, Python, Perl, and so forth. All dynamic web sites that are developed with a script-driven application need some form of database and many of the most popular ones such as Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress use MySQL.
