before getting into SQL, first know what a database is...
any database is a collection of bits of information in an orderly fashion, that any computer uses to select and display data from. databases can help organize and enhance the contents of any site as well as make it dynamic. such sites with dynamic pages like chat scripts, galleries, forums shopping carts etc, need an underlying database structure.
now, mySQL is also a database management system. in fact it is a relational database management system, which means it stores data in separate tables rather than putting all the data in one big area. this adds flexibility, as well as speed. the SQL part of mySQL stands for Structured Query Language, which is the most common language used to access databases. the mySQL database server is the most popular open source database in the world. it is extremely fast and easy to customize, due to its architecture.
and one intersting bit on it.....
contratry to how most people pronounce iut.... it is pronounced Òmy ess cue elÓ and not my SEE kwill. _________________ get free PHP scripts
