MySQL
MySQL is one of the most popular open-source relational database management systems (RDBMS), widely used for web applications, data warehousing, and embedded database solutions. It enables storage, retrieval, and management of structured data, supporting multiple users concurrently with strong performance and reliability..
Technical Details
Overview: MySQL is an open-source relational database server that uses SQL (Structured Query Language) for accessing and managing data. It's known for speed, reliability, and ease of use, making it a backbone of many web service architectures, especially those using the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Python/Perl) stack.
Communication: Port 3306 is MySQL's default TCP endpoint for client-server communication. Both TCP and UDP communication can be enabled, though TCP is primarily used for database queries and transactions, while UDP may be leveraged by specific services or monitoring.
Deployment: MySQL can run on physical servers, virtual machines, or cloud environments, supporting replication, clustering, and advanced data management features. It supports various storage engines, such as InnoDB and MyISAM, allowing flexibility depending on data integrity and performance requirements.
