MySQL is one of the most popular database admin systems out there. A database is a group of cells with information that are arranged in tables and the management system is the piece of software which links the data to a script app. For example, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts etc within a database and each time a website visitor opens a particular thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content which has to be displayed on a certain page. MySQL is very popular due to its great functionality, ease of use and the fact that it can work with lots of popular scripting languages such as PHP, Python, Perl, etcetera. All dynamic Internet sites which are designed with a script-driven application require some form of database and some of the most widely used ones including Joomla, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress employ MySQL.
