The nice thing about standards is that there are
so many to choose from.

MySQL

  Database Server

MySQL is a dual-licensed database server, available under both open source and commercial licenses. It's an extremely popular database backend for web applications, and includes several features which vary from the SQL standard but are often helpful for application developers. Recent versions have enabled more standards-compliant behaviour to be configured.

Unlike many database servers, MySQL supports multiple storage engines. This means that you can choose between a storage engine that supports more advanced features for data warehousing or data recovery, or use a simpler engine that might be optimised for memory efficiency or query performance.

Other popular database servers for web applications include PostgreSQL and SQL Server.

See mysql.com for more information, or contact us if you would like some commercial assistance.
