MySQL is one of the most widespread database management systems available. A database is a set of cells with information that are arranged in tables and the control system is the piece of software which links the info to a script application. For instance, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts and so forth in a database and every time a website visitor opens a specific thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which should be shown on a specific page. MySQL is very popular because of its excellent performance, simplicity of use and the fact that it can operate with lots of popular scripting languages like PHP, Python, Perl, etcetera. All dynamic Internet sites that are built with a script-driven application require some kind of database and a number of the most widely used ones like Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress work with MySQL.
