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.


MySQL originally lacked support for transactions, however this feature is now available.


MySQL is open source and works on many different platforms including AIX, BSDi, DEC Unix, FreeBSD, HP-UX, Linux, Mac OS X, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OS/2 Warp, SGI Irix, Solaris, SunOS, SCO OpenServer, SCO UnixWare, Tru64 Unix, Windows 95, 98, NT and 2000.


MySQL has C, C++, Eiffel, Java, Perl, PHP, Python, and Tcl APIs.


The preferred pronunciation of MySQL is "My S-Q-L", and not "My-Sequel".

In August 2001, a test version of wikipeda using PHP and MySQL appeared, see the Wikipedia PHP script page.
