What is MySQL?
MySQL is a SQL (Structured Query Language) database server. SQL is the most popular databaselanguage in the world. MySQL is a client server implementation that consists of a server daemon mysqld and many different client programs/libraries. The main goals of MySQL are speed and robustness. The base upon which MySQL is built is a set of routines that have been used in a highly demandingproduction environment for many years. While MySQL is currently still in development it alreadyoffers a rich and highly useful function set. However, after some testing we came to the conclusion that mSQL was not fast or flexibleenough for our needs. This resulted in a new SQL interface to our database but with almost the sameAPI interface as mSQL. This API was chosen to ease porting of third party code. It is not perfectly clear where the name MySQL derives from. Our base directory and a large amountof our libraries and tools have had the prefix ’my’ for well over 10 years.
