Hi,

In a Computer world article, "MySQL Breaks Into the Data Center" revealed how MySQL has become the world's most popular

• Open source database
• Lowering their cost of operations are using in IT infrastructure.

MySQL reduces the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of database software by:

• Reducing database licensing costs by over 90%
• Cutting systems downtime by 60%
• Lowering hardware expenditure by 70%
• Reducing administration, engineering and support costs by up to 50%

Most of the Big organizations are using MySQL Database, because of improved database reliability, performance and TCO using MySQL.

There are three key reasons why MySQL is world’s most popular open source database:
1. MySQL is a fast, easy-to-use and reliable database developed and marketed at a fraction of the cost of proprietary software by using an open source approach. These cost savings are passed on directly to the customer.
2. MySQL has been battle tested in the market place. It has over 6 million active installations and over 35,000 downloads every day.
3. The MySQL database is supported by MySQL AB, a second-generation open source company founded in 1995. The company is profitable, owns and supports all of its code and offers MySQL Enterprise, a comprehensive set of software and proactive services that saves enterprise developers and DBAs time and effort.
