MySQL

A relational database for structured application data and SQL queries.

What it is

MySQL stores structured data in related tables queried with SQL.

How I learned it

I learned MySQL through relational data modeling and query practice.

How I use it

I use it when application data benefits from relations, constraints, and transactional consistency.

Concepts I work with

  • SQL
  • Joins
  • Indexes
  • Normalization

What I learned

A clear schema prevents many application-level consistency problems.

Applied experience

Projects using MySQL

I haven't published a project using MySQL yet — it's something I use in work that isn't shareable, or that I'm still building.
