- What is MySQL?
MySQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS). Compared with Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server, it has fewer capabilities but as a result, it runs faster--twice as fast or more, on comparable hardware. It is even faster at many operations than Access. It is developed by a Swedish company called T.c.X.
