About:
MySQL is the world's most popular open-source relational database management system, known for its reliability, performance, and ease of use. It provides a robust SQL interface for storing, querying, and managing structured data. As a cornerstone of the LAMP stack, it powers everything from small applications to large-scale web services.
Key Features:
  • ACID-compliant transaction support for data integrity
  • Replication and high availability clustering
  • Comprehensive SQL standard compliance
  • Multiple storage engines including InnoDB and MyISAM
  • Cross-platform support and extensive language connectors
Use Cases:
  • Web application backend database
  • Data warehousing and analytics
  • E-commerce platform storage
  • Content management system database
Alternatives:
  • postgresql – PostgreSQL offers stricter SQL compliance and advanced features like JSONB, while MySQL prioritizes speed and simplicity
  • mariadb – MariaDB is a community-driven fork with enhanced performance and features, maintaining MySQL compatibility
