MySQL is among the most commonly used database control systems in existence. A database is a collection of cells with information that are organized in tables and the control system is the piece of software which links the data to a script application. For instance, a forum stores all usernames, avatars, posts etc within a database and every single time a visitor opens a given thread, the forum script connects to the database and “calls” the content that needs to be displayed on a particular page. MySQL is extremely popular because of its excellent efficiency, simplicity of use and the fact that it can function with numerous popular scripting languages like PHP, Python, Perl, and so forth. All dynamic web sites which are designed with a script-driven application require some kind of database and some of the most widely used ones including Joomla™, Moodle, Mambo and WordPress work with MySQL.
