About MySQL
MySQL is an open source relational database management system. It is offered in multiple editions, including a free Community Server, a Standard Edition, an Enterprise Edition with additional management tools and technical support, a Classic Edition, and MySQL Cluster CGE for high-availability, distributed deployments. MySQL HeatWave is a cloud service variant that adds integrated machine learning and generative AI capabilities for transactional and analytical workloads, deployable across multiple cloud providers.
The product is used as an embedded database by independent software vendors, OEMs, and value-added resellers to build into their own applications, hardware, and appliances.
