MYSQL Programming? - Improvement™ - 29.08.2011

I seen alot about MYSQL Code Programming, but I actually never knew what the correct defenition of MYSQL is. So therefor I created this to gather some information from different MYSQL Programmers.

There are a few questions that I have been wondering for awhile, and it would be great if someone could explain it decently.
- What is the correct spelling of MYSQL?
- What is the correct definition behind MYSQL?
- What does MYSQL Programming has to with PAWN Scripting?

Thanks in Advanced.

Kind regards,
Improvement™

It's not actually MYSQL, it's SQL and it stands for "Structured Query Language".
MySQL is used as a database for storing data in tables, such as users, important server information you need to save.

First of all, thank you for your reply.
But so far I understand correctly, is that MySQL and SQL are the same language?
Or do they have a difference? and MySQL can also be used in PAWN language?
But what about SQL? For what is SQL used for?

Sorry about all these questions, I really want to know the difference.
And I am also wondering if there is some kind of guide such as wiki.sa-mp.com
Thats all for now, Thanks in Advanced.

MySQL is the database management system that holds the information. SQL is the actual language that is used to set / get the information from the database.

You can take a look at the tutorial in my signature and it gives you a bit of a insight into MySQL.
