What is MySQL?

MySQL is a Relational Database Management System. A relational database adds speed and flexibility to your website, by storing data in separate tables rather than putting all the data in one area such as a flat file. These tables are linked by defined relations making it possible to combine data from several tables upon request. The program runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. Users generally access and manipulate this information by using a scripting language such as PHP.
