Data & Cloud
A relational database for structured application data and SQL queries.
MySQL stores structured data in related tables queried with SQL.
I learned MySQL through relational data modeling and query practice.
I use it when application data benefits from relations, constraints, and transactional consistency.
A clear schema prevents many application-level consistency problems.
Applied experience
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.
