MySQL is among the most popular database management systems on the market. A database is a set of cells with info that are organized in tables and the control system is the software which links the info to a script application. For example, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts etc inside a database and each time a site visitor opens a specific thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which should be accessible on a certain page. MySQL is extremely popular because of its superb efficiency, simplicity of use and the fact that it can operate with a lot of popular scripting languages like PHP, Python, Perl, etcetera. All dynamic Internet sites which are built with a script-driven application require some form of database and a number of the most widely used ones like Joomla, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress use MySQL.
