mySQL

This is my Module 3 portfolio! In this module, I covered the basic syntax and concepts associated with SQL, and also how to incorporate it into mySQL.

MySQL is merely a database management server which uses the SQL language to access and manage data. In other words, it is merely a platform for which the SQL language can be executed. You can think of mySQL as something similar to an IDE in Object Oriented Programming languages. For example, an IDE used to program in Java is IntelliJ, or Netbeans. While these IDE's are not a language themselves, they are used to program with Java and provide a platform for it. MySQL serves the same function for the SQL language.
