MySQL is among the most widely used database control systems on the market. A database is a set of cells with info that are structured in tables and the control system is the software that links the data to a script application. For instance, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts etc in a database and every single time a site visitor opens a given thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which has to be shown on a certain page. MySQL is very popular because of its superb functionality, ease of use and the fact that it can operate with lots of popular scripting languages such as PHP, Python, Perl, and so on. All dynamic web sites which are developed with a script-driven app need some kind of database and a number of the most popular ones including Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress use MySQL.
