MySQL Introduction

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.

Many of the world’s largest and fastest-growing organizations use MySQL databases to save time and money, powering their high-volume websites and critical business systems.
