MySQL is one of the most widespread database administration systems out there. A database is a set of cells with information which are structured in tables and the management system is the software which links the data to a script application. As an illustration, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts and so on in a database and every time a site visitor opens a specific thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which should be shown on a particular page. MySQL is extremely popular because of its excellent efficiency, simplicity and the fact that it can function with a lot of popular scripting languages including PHP, Python, Perl, and so on. All dynamic web sites which are developed with a script-driven application need some kind of database and some of the most popular ones like Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress work with MySQL.
