MySQL
MySQL is the world's most used open source relational database management system (RDBMS). Free-software-open source projects that require a full-featured database management system often use MySQL. The MySQL development project has made its source code available under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
MySQL is a popular choice of database for use in web applications, and is a central component of the widely used LAMP open source web application software stack (and other 'AMP' stacks). LAMP is an acronym for "Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python."
