# MySQL

> Open-source relational database for SQL applications

MySQL is an open-source relational database used to store and query application data with SQL. Developers organize information into tables, define relationships, and use indexes to retrieve records efficiently. Its InnoDB storage engine supports transactions, foreign keys, and crash recovery, making it useful for websites, business applications, and services that need consistent updates across related records.

MySQL provides connectors for common programming languages, along with tools for database development and administration. MySQL Workbench supports visual data modeling and SQL development, while replication and InnoDB Cluster help teams build deployments with higher availability. The Community Edition is available for free under the GPL. Commercial editions and the managed MySQL HeatWave service offer additional options for organizations that need enterprise features or cloud operations.
