There are three key reasons why MySQL is world's most popular open source database:
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.
MySQL has been battle tested in the market place. It has over 11 million active installations and over 60,000 downloads every day.
