MySQL is a popular open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) that utilizes Structured Query Language (SQL). It is commonly used for building web applications and is compatible with various operating systems. MySQL is known for its scalability, high performance, and robustness. It is often used in conjunction with PHP to create dynamic web pages, but can also be used with other programming languages. The software was originally developed by MySQL AB, which was later acquired by Sun Microsystems and then Oracle Corporation. Today, MySQL is owned and maintained by Oracle Corporation.
