MySQL is one of the most popular and widely used database engines in the world.
This database engine is Open Source, meaning it is available to everyone.
Currently, it is part of the product offerings managed by Oracle, the powerful computer company.
It’s a bit obvious, but the language used for querying is SQL, following the corresponding standard of that language.
When discussing web development, for example, with Laravel (Php) or other programming languages, MySQL is one of the primary options to use as a database.
While these frameworks connect and add a layer to avoid direct interaction with pure SQL queries, they always remain available for use in their native format.
MySQL is a database primarily designed for small to medium-sized projects, especially those that are just starting out.
For larger projects, paid licensed database engines like Oracle Database or Microsoft SQL Server are primarily used.
AMP Environments
MySQL database is typically included by default in AMP-type installation packages, such as Xampp or Wamp.
These packages are a stack of solutions primarily designed for web developers to develop in their local environments.
They are very easy and practical to install, through an executable that does all the work.
PhpMyAdmin
This is usually the default database manager for administering a MySQL database.
PhpMyAdmin has a basic web interface and requires Apache and Php for its operation.
While it may be a bit difficult to understand at first, it has just what is needed, especially for making quick changes.
