The MySQL® database has become the world’s most popular open-source database because of its consistently fast performance, high reliability and ease of use. It’s used on every continent – Yes, even Antarctica! – by individual Web developers as well as many of the world’s largest and fastest-growing organizations to save time and money powering their high-volume Web sites, business-critical systems and packaged software – including industry leaders such as Yahoo!, Alcatel-Lucent, Google, Nokia, YouTube, and Zappos.com.
