MySQL Server is intended for mission-critical, heavy-load production systems as well as for embedding into mass-deployed software.
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.
​
The MySQL Database Server is very fast, reliable, scalable, and easy to use. It can run comfortably on a desktop or laptop, alongside your other applications, web servers, and so on, requiring little or no
attention.
​
MySQL Server was originally developed to handle large databases much faster than existing solutions and has been successfully used in highly demanding production environments for several years. Although under constant development, MySQL Server today offers a rich and useful set of functions. Its connectivity, speed, and security make MySQL Server highly suited for accessing databases on the Internet. This also makes it comparatively cost-effective.
