MySQL (pronounced my Ess Q El) is a open source, SQL relational database management system (RDBMS) that is free for many users (more detail on that later). Early in its history, MySQL occasionally faced opposition because of its lack of support for sum core SQL constructs such as sub selects and foreign keys. Ultimately, however, MySQL found a broad, enthusiastic user base for its liberal licensing terms, perky performance, and ease of use. Its acceptance was aided in part by the wide variety of other technologies such as PHP, perl, Python, and the like that have encouraged its use through stable, well-documented modules and extensions.
Database are generally useful, perhaps the most consistently family of software products (the "killer Product") in modern computing. Like many computing products, both free and commercial, MySQL isn't a data base until you give it sum structure and form. You might think of this as the difference between a database and an RDBMS (that is, RDBMS plus user requirements equal a database).
There's lots more to say about MySQL, but then again, there's lots more space in which to say it.
