Question: What is MySQL?
This question relates to category Business Hosting
Answer:
SQL stands for Structured Query Language. SQL is an international standard in querying and retrieving information from databases. A database is a structured collection of data, which may be anything from a list of products on your site to large amounts of information in a corporate network.
The MySQL database server is the world's most widely used open source database management system. MySQL is essentially an SQL server - it responds to requests for information that are written in SQL. You can communicate with MySQL using a wide variety of programming languages (PHP being one of the most common).
