MySQL

MySQL is an open-source relational database management system used to store and manage data. Think of it as a digital filing cabinet where information is organized into tables, similar to spreadsheets. Users can easily add, modify, and retrieve data using a structured language called SQL (Structured Query Language). MySQL is widely used in web applications, such as online stores and social media platforms, to handle large volumes of data efficiently. Its reliability, speed, and community support make it a popular choice for both small projects and large enterprises.
