MySQL

In 2010, when Oracle acquired Sun, Widenius forked the open-source MySQL project to create MariaDB. Additionally, a number of third party organisations exist to provide support and services, including MariaDB and Percona.

MariaDB is a community-developed, commercially supported fork of the MySQL relational database management system (RDBMS), intended to remain free and open-source software under the GNU General Public License.

MySQL is a component of the LAMP web application software stack (and others), which is an acronym for Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python.

LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl/Python) is an archetypal model of web service stacks, named as an acronym of the names of its original four open-source components: the Linux operating system, the Apache HTTP Server, the MySQL relational database management system (RDBMS), and the PHP programming language.

MySQL was owned and sponsored by the Swedish company MySQL AB, which was bought by Sun Microsystems (now Oracle Corporation).

It was also a major contributor to open-source software, as evidenced by its $1 billion purchase, in 2008, of MySQL, an open-source relational database management system.

MySQL was owned and sponsored by the Swedish company MySQL AB, which was bought by Sun Microsystems (now Oracle Corporation). MySQL was created by a Swedish company, MySQL AB, founded by David Axmark, Allan Larsson and Michael "Monty" Widenius.

MySQL AB is the creator of MySQL, a relational database management system, as well as related products such as MySQL Cluster.

This is a list of AMP (Apache, MySQL/MariaDB, Perl/PHP/Python) solution stacks for all computer platforms; these software bundles are used to run dynamic Web sites or servers.

MySQL is used by many database-driven web applications, including Drupal, Joomla, phpBB, and WordPress.

WordPress (WordPress.org) is a content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL that is usually used with the MySQL or MariaDB database servers but can also use the SQLite database engine.

MySQL was owned and sponsored by the Swedish company MySQL AB, which was bought by Sun Microsystems (now Oracle Corporation).

Oracle Corporation's main competitors in the database arena remain IBM DB2 and Microsoft SQL Server, and to a lesser extent Sybase and Teradata, with open source databases such as PostgreSQL and MySQL also having a significant share of the market.

MySQL is used by many database-driven web applications, including Drupal, Joomla, phpBB, and WordPress.

Features of phpBB include support for multiple database engines (PostgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL, Oracle Database, Microsoft SQL Server), flat message structure (as opposed to threaded), hierarchical subforums, topic split/merge/lock, user groups, multiple attachments per post, full-text search, plugins and various notification options (e-mail, Jabber instant messaging, ATOM feeds).

MySQL is used by many database-driven web applications, including Drupal, Joomla, phpBB, and WordPress.

Joomla is written in PHP, uses object-oriented programming techniques (since version 1.5) and software design patterns, stores data in a MySQL, MS SQL (since version 2.5), or PostgreSQL (since version 3.0) database, and includes features such as page caching, RSS feeds, printable versions of pages, news flashes, blogs, search, and support for language internationalization.

MySQL is also used by many popular websites, including Facebook, Flickr, MediaWiki, Twitter, and YouTube.

This software was written in PHP and stored all its information in a MySQL database.

PHP is fundamentally an Internet-aware system with built-in modules for accessing File Transfer Protocol (FTP) servers and many database servers, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server and SQLite (which is an embedded database), LDAP servers, and others.

Additionally, a number of third party organisations exist to provide support and services, including MariaDB and Percona.

Percona is the developer of a number of open source software projects for MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and RocksDB users.

Its name is a combination of "My", the name of co-founder Michael Widenius's daughter, and "SQL", the abbreviation for Structured Query Language.

In 2010, when Oracle acquired Sun, Widenius forked the open-source MySQL project to create MariaDB.

An exception is when the forked software is designed to be a drop-in replacement for the original project, e.g. MariaDB for MySQL or LibreOffice for OpenOffice.org.

MySQL is also used by many popular websites, including Facebook, Flickr, MediaWiki, Twitter, and YouTube.

Based on information compiled by highscalability.com, the MySQL databases are hosted on servers that are Linux-based (from Red Hat), with a software platform that includes Apache, PHP (with PEAR and Smarty), shards, Memcached, Squid, Perl, ImageMagick and Java; the system administration tools include Ganglia, SystemImager, Subcon and CVSup.

InnoDB is a storage engine for the database management system MySQL.

MySQL is also used by many popular websites, including Facebook, Flickr, MediaWiki, Twitter, and YouTube.

In the early days of Twitter, tweets were stored in MySQL databases that were temporally sharded (large databases were split based on time of posting).

MySQL is a component of the LAMP web application software stack (and others), which is an acronym for Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python.

Linux distributions are the cornerstone of the LAMP server-software combination (Linux, Apache, MariaDB/MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python) which has achieved popularity among developers, and which is one of the more common platforms for website hosting.

MySQL is free and open-source software under the terms of the GNU General Public License, and is also available under a variety of proprietary licenses.

For instance the Linux kernel, MySQL, BusyBox, AdvFS, Blender, VLC media player, and MediaWiki decided against adopting GPLv3.

Its name is a combination of "My", the name of co-founder Michael Widenius's daughter, and "SQL", the abbreviation for Structured Query Language. MySQL was created by a Swedish company, MySQL AB, founded by David Axmark, Allan Larsson and Michael "Monty" Widenius.

Ulf Michael Widenius (often called Monty; born 3 March 1962, in Helsinki, Finland) is the main author of the original version of the open source MySQL database, a founding member of the MySQL AB company and CTO of the MariaDB Corporation AB.

It was initially created for personal usage from mSQL based on the low-level language ISAM, which the creators considered too slow and inflexible.

Combined with the free Linux operating system, the availability of relatively powerful low-cost PC hardware, and the development of World Wide Web standards and technologies, mSQL was an important factor in the early development of interactive, dynamic web applications, particularly in the period 1994–97, after which it was increasingly supplanted by the more highly featured MySQL.

MySQL ( "My S-Q-L") is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS).

According to DB-Engines, in July 2019, the most widely used systems were Oracle, MySQL (free software), Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL (free software), IBM DB2, Microsoft Access, SQLite (free software), and MariaDB (free software).

MySQL Cluster is a technology providing shared-nothing clustering and auto-sharding for the MySQL database management system.

MySQL was created by a Swedish company, MySQL AB, founded by David Axmark, Allan Larsson and Michael "Monty" Widenius.

David Axmark, born 28 May 1962 in Sweden, is one of the founders of MySQL AB and a developer of the free database server, MySQL.
