# MySQL plugin

MySQL plugin
============

MySQL is the world’s most popular open source database. Some of the main MySQL features are:

*   Scalability and flexibility
    
*   High performance
    
*   High availability
    
*   Robust transactional support
    
*   Web and data warehouse strengths
    
*   Strong data protection
    
*   Ease of management
    
*   Lowest total cost of ownership
    

The MySQL plugin interacts with the MySQL command-line tool, `mysql`. The `mysql` utility allows you to perform queries against the database from text areas or a SQL file. You can also apply custom formatting to output such HTML or XML. For more information, refer to the [MySQL documentation](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/).
