Beginners Guide
MySQL is an open source relational database management system. The SQL part stands for Structured Query Language. SQL is a type of database language that has been around since the 1970’s but has evolved and grown over the years.
MySQL can be used at the heart of any web site with dynamic content. For instance an on-line shop which allows users to search for products could store the details in a MySQL database. When the user performs a search, the web server runs a CGI script (in our case a PHP script) which makes a database query to MySQL. The script then assembles the result into a web page and the web server sends the page to the client web browser all in a fraction of a second.
Any site that requires user registration or tracks data that visitors enter, is almost always using a database of some kind.
We use MySQL because it is fast and flexible and is widely available as a standard option by web hosting companies.
