I have been seing some stuff on the web that talk about mysql..but i cant get a clear definition of what it is...(im soo noob i know)...but can someone give me a user-friendly description of mysql?Please?..thanks

It's a database engine. You use the SQL language to create a query, a command to communicate with the databases and tables, to manage the data stored in them.

I dunno if that's a correct definition, it's just what came into my mind.

think of an access database, mysql is just that basically, but more complex. also u can use it in php thank god!
