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.

Database virtualization is the decoupling of the database layer, which lies between the storage and application layers within the application stack.

Virtualization of the database layer enables a shift away from the physical, toward the logical or virtual.

Virtualization enables compute and storage resources to be pooled and allocated on demand.

This enables both the sharing of single server resources for multi-tenancy, as well as the pooling of server resources into a single logical database or cluster.

In both cases, database virtualization provides increased flexibility, more granular and efficient allocation of pooled resources, and more scalable computing.

A system administrator, or sysadmin, is a person who is responsible for the upkeep, configuration, and reliable operation of computer systems; especially multi-user computers, such as servers.

In computing, a server is a computer program or a device that provides functionality for other programs or devices, called "clients".

This architecture is called the client–server model, and a single overall computation is distributed across multiple processes or devices.

Servers can provide various functionalities, often called "services", such as sharing data or resources among multiple clients, or performing computation for a client.

A single server can serve multiple clients, and a single client can use multiple servers.

A client process may run on the same device or may connect over a network to a server on a different device.

Typical servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.

Computer security, also known as cybersecurity or IT security, is the protection of computer systems from the theft or damage to the hardware, software or the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.
