What is MySQL and why it is used?
MySQL is a database management system that stores, organizes, and retrieves data for websites and applications. It works behind the scenes to manage information such as website content, user accounts, form submissions, and product data.
Most modern websites—especially WordPress websites—rely on MySQL to function. For example, when a visitor loads a page, MySQL quickly pulls the correct content from the database and displays it on the screen.
Why MySQL Is Used:
✅ Fast and reliable – Designed to handle large amounts of data efficiently
✅ Widely supported – Used by WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, and many other platforms
✅ Secure – Includes strong security features to protect website data
✅ Scalable – Works well for small websites and large, high-traffic sites
✅ Open-source – Continuously improved and trusted worldwide
