MySQL (My Structured Query Language) is a multiplatform database owned by Sun Microsystems (sister company of Oracle Corporation). The database can store different data (texts, images, etc.) and work with them (sort, filter, etc.)

Database is available for users free of charge under GPL license, but also as a paid version under a commercial license. Together with Apache and PHP on Linux / GNU it makes one of the basic web server software package. Its high market share is easily explained by the easy implementation, performance and free GPL license.

MySQL administration

Database communication is based on SQL. It is managed by a command line or an advanced open source phpMyAdmin tool, that allows you to completely manage your MySQL database (such as backing up, inserting, deleting and editing data, spreadsheets or databases).
