What is MySQL?
MySQL is the world’s most popular open-source database program.
MySQL is more like Microsoft SQL Server (a server-based database
program) than Access (mainly for desktop users). With MySQL
running on a server, you can easily use it for business systems or
database-driven websites.
Easy to use and configure, MySQL is also capable of industrialstrength
applications. Depending on the computer it’s installed on,
MySQL can hold several terabytes of information per table.
