Most of TH Media's hosting packages include the ability to add MySQL databases to your site. Please note that some of TH Media's account features require the use of a MySQL database (such as our built in forums). Using such add-ons counts towards your quota of MySQL databases.

SQL stands for Structured Query Language. SQL is an international standard in querying and retrieving information from databases. MySQL is essentially an SQL server - it responds to requests for information that are written in SQL. You can communicate with MySQL using a wide variety of programming languages (PHP being one of the most common). MySQL is Open Source software and free for use.
