Pronounced Òmy ess cue
elÓ (each letter separately) and not "my
SEE kwill." MySQL is an open source RDBMS that
relies on SQL for processing the data in the database.
MySQL provides APIs for the languages C, C++, Eiffel,
Java, Perl, PHP and Python. In addition, OLE DB
and ODBC providers exist for MySQL data connection
in the Microsoft environment. A MySQL .NET Native
Provider is also available, which allows native
MySQL to .NET access without the need for OLE DB.
MySQL is most commonly used for Web applications
and for embedded applications and has become a popular
alternative to proprietary database systems because
of its speed and reliability. MySQL can run on UNIX,
Windows and Mac OS.
