MySQL is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS). Its name is
a combination of "My", the name of co-founder Michael Widenius"s daughter, and "SQL",
the abbreviation for Structured Query Language. A relational database organizes data
into one or more data tables in which data types may be related to each other; these
relations help structure the data. SQL is a language programmers use to create, modify
and extract data from the relational database, as well as control user access to the
database. In addition to relational databases and SQL, an RDBMS like MySQL works with
an operating system to implement a relational database in a computer"s storage system,
manages users, allows for network access and facilitates testing database integrity
and creation of backups.
