What is MySQL?
MySQL is a widely used, open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) known for its reliability, ease of use, and performance. It is a core part of the popular LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Python/Perl) commonly used in web development.
MySQL provides a robust, ACID-compliant database engine suitable for applications of all sizes - from small websites to large enterprise systems.
It includes powerful features such as:
- replication
- partitioning
- full-text indexing
- strong SQL support
This makes MySQL highly versatile across a wide range of use cases.
