Introduction on SQL

• SQL (Structured Query Language) is a


standardized programming language used for
managing relational databases and performing
various operations on the data in them.
Initially created in the 1970s, SQL is regularly
used by database administrators, as well as by
developers writing data integration scripts and
data analysts looking to set up and run
analytical queries.
Introduction on MySQL
• MySQL is an open source relational database management system
(RDBMS) based on Structured Query Language (SQL). MySQL runs
on virtually all platforms, including Linux, UNIX, and Windows.
• Although it can be used in a wide range of applications, MySQL is
most often associated with web-based applications and online
publishing and is an important component of an open source
enterprise stack called LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP).
• LAMP is a Web development platform that uses Linux as the
operating system, Apache as the Web server, MySQL as the
relational database management system and PHP as the object-
oriented scripting language.
• MySQL, which was originally conceived by the Swedish company
MySQL AB, was acquired by Sun Microsystems in 2008 and then by
Oracle when it bought Sun in 2010.
• Developers can still use MySQL under the GNU General Public
License (GPL), but enterprises must obtain a commercial license
from Oracle
Characteristics/Advantages of MYSQL/SQL:
• Relational Database Management System (RDBMS):
MySQL is a relational database management system.
• Easy to use: MySQL is easy to use. You have to get only
the basic knowledge of SQL. You can build and interact
with MySQL with only a few simple SQL statements.
• It is secure: MySQL consist of a solid data security layer
that protects sensitive data from intruders. Passwords
are encrypted in MySQL.
• Client/ Server Architecture: MySQL follows a client
/server architecture. There is a database server
(MySQL) and arbitrarily many clients (application
programs), which communicate with the server; that is,
they query data, save changes, etc.
