MySQL
MySQL is a multithreaded, multi-user SQL database management
system (DBMS) which has more than 11 million installations. The
program runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of
databases.
MySQL was owned and sponsored by a single for-profit firm, the
Swedish company MySQL AB, now a subsidiary of Sun Microsystems,
which holds the copyright to most of the codebase. The project's
source code is available under terms of the GNU General Public
License, as well as under a variety of proprietary agreements.
"MySQL" is officially pronounced /maskju, not "My sequel" . This
adheres to the official ANSI pronunciation; SEQUEL was an earlier
IBM database language, a predecessor to the SQL language. The
company does not take issue with the pronunciation "My sequel" or
other local variations.
SWABIZZ hosting packages support MySQL.
