"MySQL is a database management system.
A database is a structured collection of data. It may be
anything from a simple shopping list to a picture gallery or
the vast amounts of information in a corporate network. To
add, access, and process data stored in a computer database,
you need a database management system such as MySQL Server.
Since computers are very good at handling large amounts of
data, database management systems play a central role in
computing, as standalone utilities, or as parts of other
applications."
