Build 6 Real World MYSQL Database Management Projects 2022

MySQL is a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS), named after the founder Michael Widenius’s daughter as “My” and SQL stands for “Structured Query Language”. The first version of this database was released in 1995 and later on, Oracle acquired the same in Jan 2010, when it was with Sun Microsystems.

This database is written in C and C++ language and it can work on different platforms like Microsoft Windows, Oracle Solaris, AIX, Symbian, Linux, MAC OS, etc.

It is available with two editions.

MySQL Community Server (Open Source).

MySQL Enterprise Server (Proprietary).

Both of the editions share the same code base except, Enterprise Edition comes with a series of extensions that can be installed as server plugins.

Benefits Of MySQL

The benefits are enlisted below:

Easy to use: As it supports SQL language, users don’t need to be technically expert to access the database. It can be easily accessed by users with basic SQL knowledge and experience on other relational databases.

Cost Free: Another benefit of using this database is that the user doesn’t have to spend money to pay the license fee, as it is free of cost and available on the official website for download.

Customizable Code: As it is available as an open–source tool, software developers have an option to customize the source code as per their own applications and use it. The source code is freely available to web users. The do’s and don’ts of the software are defined in GPL i.e. GNU General Public License.
