'''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 widespread pronunciation of SQL being "sequel", the generally accepted pronunciation of MySQL by professionals is "My ess-que-ell", not "My-Sequel".
