MySQL is one of the most popular database administration systems on the market. A database is a group of cells with information which are organized in tables and the administration system is the software which links the info to a script app. For example, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts etc inside a database and each time a site visitor opens a given thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which should be shown on a certain page. MySQL is quite popular due to its great functionality, ease of use and the fact that it can operate with numerous popular scripting languages including PHP, Python, Perl, and so on. All dynamic websites that are built with a script-driven application require some kind of database and many of the most popular ones such as Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress use MySQL.
