By the way, has already guaranteed presence within large organizations, one of the best known is NASA which uses it in an internal routine processing.

The ease with which MySQL integrates WEB applications is just one of the many benefits that it offers, for example:

 

  • Portability;
  • Compatibility;
  • Excellent performance and stability;
  • Little picky about hardware resources;
  • Ease of use;
  • Is free Software based on GPL;
  • Includes the use of multiple Storage Engines such as MyISAM, InnoDB, Falcon, BDB, Federated, Archive, CSV, Solid;
  • Supports transactional control;

Projects in PHP that use MySQL database tend to cost much less as both are free and have a wide documentation for support. In addition, the security and integrity of data in projects like that end up causing them to be used in demands of any complexity.
