MySQL
MySQL is a database server that shorts things that we use on a website into tables, records, and databases. Imagine running
Microsoft access or even filemaker on a website. That is at the very least what
MySQL does. Any website that uses
Wordpress (CMS), joomla (CMS), Moodle (LMS), Droopal (CMS) uses
MySQL as a database manager to store its data into organized fields. If you want an example, check Anderson Cooper's website from CNN. Its a
Wordpress blog and that uses
MySQL engine to run the website. Usually blogs as use
MySQL as a database server to handle its data. To really summarize your question any website that's automatic and uses data inputted and exported by the users of the website would generally use
MySQL as a means of organizing and placing these in a database.
