MySQL is a relational database management system developed by the Swedish company MySQL AB and currently belongs to the products of Oracle. MySQL is one of the most popular relational database management systems. In the aspect of WEB application, MySQL is one of the best RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) application software.

MySQL is a relational database management system in which relational databases store data in different tables instead of all data in one large warehouse, which increases speed and flexibility.

The SQL language used by MySQL is the most commonly used standardized language for accessing databases. MySQL software adopts the dual licensing policy, which is divided into community version and commercial version. Because of its small size, high speed and low total cost of ownership, especially open source, the development of small and medium-sized websites generally choose MySQL as the website database.

Because of the excellent performance of its community version, it can form a good development environment with PHP and Apache.

And other large databases

For example, compared with Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, etc., MySQL has its own shortcomings, but this does not reduce its popularity. MySQL provides more than enough functionality for the average individual user and small and medium-sized business, and because MySQL is open source software, it can greatly reduce the total cost of ownership.

Linux as the operating system, Apache or Nginx as the Web server, MySQL as the database, and PHP/Perl/Python as the server-side script interpreter. Because all four software are free or open source software (FLOSS), you can build a stable and free website system without spending a penny (excluding labor costs), which is called "LAMP" or "LNMP" combination by the industry.
