What MySQL is
- A thread-per-connection relational server whose default InnoDB engine gives clustered primary-key storage and MVCC via undo logs.
- Mature binary-log replication, shipped by Oracle under GPLv2 with a commercial licence for redistribution.
- An LTS plus innovation-release cadence.
- Strengths are operational: online DDL on huge tables and replication run at extreme scale for two decades.
