'''MySQL''' is a very fast, multi-threaded, multi-user and robust [[SQL]] (Structured Query Language) [[relational database]] server. MySQL is [[free software]]: it is licensed under the [[GNU General Public License]]. It was written and is maintained by the Swedish company MySQL AB, which sells support and service contracts as well as commercially licensed copies of MySQL and employs people all over the world who communicate over the internet. MySQL AB was set up by two Swedes and a Finn: David Axmark, Allan Larsson and Michael "Monty" Widenius. Despite the officialwidespread pronunciation of SQL being "sequel", the common pronunciation of MySQL is "My S-Q-L", and not "My-Sequel".
