MySQL

What is the MySQL program?

MySQL is a database management system that has a dual license. On the one hand, it is open source, but on the other, it has a commercial version managed by the company Oracle. Currently, it is the most famous and used open source database in the whole world.

Like it, we can find others such as Oracle itself or Microsoft SQL Server. They all have the same purpose and are used in the same environment, which is nothing more than web development, and are the ones most used today to shape and facilitate communication between websites and servers.

One of the main characteristics of MySQL is that it works with relational databases, that is, it uses multiple tables that are interconnected with each other to store information and organize it correctly. Despite its purpose and the environment in which it is used, it is worth noting that it is a system originally developed in C and C++, one of the most traditional and oldest programming languages that exist.

With constant updates and the great advantage of being a free and perfectly modifiable environment, MySQL has earned its position as one of the most used in the digital sector. The vast majority of programmers who work in web development have gone through the use of this tool due to its capabilities and benefits.

What is MySQL used for?

MySQL is used to store all the information you want in relational databases, as well as to manage all this data without any complications thanks to its visual interface and all the options and tools it has. It is essential, especially on websites that have the option of registering users to log in.

For companies, using this tool is vital due to the facilities it offers and the utilities it has. If you have a list of customers, a product catalog or even a large selection of multimedia content available, MySQL helps to manage it all properly and orderly. It is essential for the proper functioning of a website.

MySQL examples

MySQL, being something very closely linked to the backend of any web page, is something that is difficult to give visual examples of, since it is not often seen. However, we can give an example of its implementation in lines of code within the source of a website.
