MySQL
Overview
MySQL is a relational database management system
A relational database stores data in separate tables
rather than
putting all the data in one big storeroom.
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 relational database stores data in separate tables rather than putting all the data in one big storeroom. The database structures are organized into physical files optimized for speed.
The logical model, with objects such as databases, tables, views, rows, and columns, offers a flexible programming environment.
