MySQL (officially pronounced as "My S-Q-L") is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS).

Its name is a combination of "My", the name of co-founder Michael Widenius' daughter, and "SQL", the abbreviation for Structured Query Language.

The MySQL development project has made its source code available under the terms of the GNU General Public License, as well as under a variety of proprietary agreements.

MySQL was owned and sponsored by a single for-profit firm, the Swedish company MySQL AB, now owned by Oracle Corporation.

For proprietary use, several paid editions are available, and offer additional functionality.

PostgreSQL, often simply Postgres, is an object-relational database (ORDBMS) i.e. an RDBMS, with additional (optional use) "object" features with an emphasis on extensibility and standards compliance.

As a database server, its primary functions are to store data securely and return that data in response to requests from other software applications.

It can handle workloads ranging from small single-machine applications to large Internet-facing applications (or for data warehousing) with many concurrent users; on macOS Server, PostgreSQL is the default database; and it is also available for Microsoft Windows and Linux (supplied in most distributions).

MongoDB (from humongous) is a free and open-source cross-platform document-oriented database program.

Classified as a NoSQL database program, MongoDB uses JSON-like documents with schemas.

MongoDB is developed by MongoDB Inc. and is free and open-source, published under a combination of the GNU Affero General Public License and the Apache License.

Business Intelligence (BI) are the set of strategies, processes, applications, data, technologies and technical architectures which are used to support the collection, analysis, presentation and dissemination of business information.

BI technologies provide historical, current and predictive views of business operations.

Common functions of business intelligence technologies are reporting, online analytical processing, analytics, data mining, process mining, complex event processing, business performance management, benchmarking, text mining, predictive analytics and prescriptive analytics and are capable of handling large amounts of structured and sometimes unstructured data to help identify, develop and otherwise create new strategic business opportunities.

The goal is to allow for the easy interpretation of these big data.

Identifying new opportunities and implementing an effective strategy based on insights can provide businesses with a competitive market advantage and long-term stability.

The open-source model is a decentralized development model that encourages open collaboration.

A main principle of open-source software development is peer production, with products such as source code, blueprints, and documentation freely available to the public.

The open-source movement in software began as a response to the limitations of proprietary code.

The model is used for projects such as in open-source appropriate technologies, and open-source drug discovery.
