Some benefits of MySQL are: it is open source, you don't have to pay for it, it is easy to use and reliable, there is a lot of help and information available if you have questions.

As previously stated MySQL is a database management system. What that means for you is that you can use MySQL to input, file, or modify the data for your website. That is the basics of what it is, now let's look at what it does. There are a ton of things you can do with MySQL, some things include: event scheduling, perform searches, table and index partitioning, row based and hybrid replication, and query analyzation.
