    Hello,
    Mysql is a "free datatabase", generally you use Mysql and PHP because there are free. Mysql is a very nice database. Of course you use a database in your site when it is necessary :) for example you need to save information......

    SQL Server is another database but you need to pay for it. It is of Microsoft..

    Both are very good database.. but I use Mysql because it's free

    SQL is a language used to create, modify, extract and delete data from a database. It is also used to specify access rights to a database. MySQL is a free relational database management system that supports SQL.

    PHP,ASP and perl are programming languages. They are used to give instructions to a computer. They are not databases. You can use PHP,ASP and perl to create,store, modify and retrieve data from a database using SQL. SSI is a way to include external files in your web pages.
