Introduction
MySQL is a widely-used open-source relational database management system (RDBMS).
It is used for managing and organizing data in relational databases by defining
relationships between data objects and tables.
MySQL is the most popular database management system for websites and web-based
applications, and is also used for many other applications including data warehousing, e-
commerce, and logging applications.
MySQL is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface, making it accessible to both
beginner and advanced users.
It is highly customizable, and offers a variety of programming interfaces, including
command-line, GUI tools, and APIs for various programming languages.
Additionally, MySQL supports a wide range of operating systems, including
Windows, MacOS, Linux, and Unix.
