MySQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS) that uses Structured Query Language (SQL), the most popular language for adding, accessing, and processing data in a database. MySQL is noted mainly for its speed, reliability, and flexibility. Most agree, however, that it works best when managing content and not executing transactions.

The MySQL relational database system was first released in January, 1998. It is fully multi-threaded using kernel threads, provides application program interfaces (APIs) for C, C++, Perl, PHP and Python, allows for many column types, and offers full operator and function support in the SELECT and WHERE parts of queries.
