+*MySQL* is a SQL (Structured Query Language) database server.
+SQL is the most popular database language in the world.
+*MySQL* is a client server implementation that consists of a
+server daemon `mysqld' and many different client programs/libraries.
+
+The main goals of *MySQL* are speed and robustness.
+
+The base upon which *MySQL* is built is a set of routines that have
+been used in a highly demanding production environment for many years.
+While *MySQL* is still in development it already offers a rich and
+highly useful function set.
+
+The official way to pronounce *MySQL* is 'My Ess Que Ell' (Not
+MY-SEQUEL).
