What are MySQL databases?
MySQL is the world’s most popular Open Source Relational Database management system for SQL databases. Designed for speed, power and precision in mission critical, heavy load use. A database is a structured collection of data. It may be anything from a simple shopping list to a picture gallery or the vast amounts of information in a corporate network. A database management system allows you to add, access, and process data stored in an SQL database. A relational database stores data in separate tables rather than putting all the data in one big storeroom. This adds speed and flexibility. The tables are linked by defined relations making it possible to combine data from several tables on request. The SQL part of “MySQL” stands for “Structured Query Language”the most common standardised language used to access databases. phpMyAdmin is included in your Cpanel control panel, you can use phpMyAdmin to set up, configure, and view your databases easily.
