MySQL is the world’s most popular open-source database software. It is a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) that stores data in tables. MySQL became very popular with the spread of the PHP Scripting Language.
MySQL AB, a Swedish company, created MySQL. Sun Microsystems acquired MySQL in 2008, and Oracle Corporation acquired Sun Microsystems in 2010. MariaDB was a fork of MySQL before Oracle Corporation’s acquisition.
