Guys, i've been cracking my head on what is MySQL.

So, my question is WHAT IS MY SQL?
How do i use it and
what is it's purpose?
Does it have to be installed somewhere or does it have to be mounted or something to your domain or hosting?

Someone, please shed some light on this uninformed soul.
Thanks!
 


ARGH! It's the fonts, they're attacking me. Must. Save. Family. Nooooooo...

SQL, is structured query language. MySQL is a database. You utilise it with tables and queries. It's purpose is to store structured data. It can be installed locally on your machine, on a webserver, or where ever really. It often comes with hosting packages.

A few minutes on wikipedia (why isn't it called wikipaedia?) would have given you more info than my post and to be honest, a few posts aren't going to teach you much about it. A few days of reading tutorials will though, although you'll need to learn how to display your queries, if you wish to display the data in a webpage, so PHP is a good accompaniment.
 
PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor is a widely used, general-purpose scripting language that was originally designed for web development to produce dynamic web pages. For this purpose, PHP code is embedded into the HTML source document and interpreted by a web server with a PHP processor module, which generates the web page document. As a general-purpose programming language, PHP code is processed by an interpreter application in command-line mode performing desired operating system operations and producing program output on its standard output channel. It may also function as a graphical application. PHP is available as a processor for most modern web servers and as a standalone interpreter on most operating systems and computing platforms.
