MySQL is a platform for writing query languages.

Brief introduction, Installing MySQL
and Getting Acquainted with the Interface.


The program we will be working with in this course is called MySQL
Workbench. It is the Oracle visual tool for database design, modelling,
creation, manipulation, maintenance, and administration. Professionals
refer to this type of software as “Integrated Development Environment”
or IDE. So, Workbench will be our IDE.

And, if you wonder what Oracle is,
this is the software company that owns
the MySQL version of SQL.

You could also wonder why we would need a server. Sticking to the basic
theory of operation of computer networks, MySQL Workbench acts as a
client program – a client of a MySQL Server. The server is, practically, nothing more than a machine that provides
data and services to the same or other computers.

The data could be provided locally or online. Regardless whether the
server is installed locally on your computer or is being accessed
remotely over the internet from another computer, you will need a Server
to use MySQL. In our case, we installed the server locally. Briefly, the server will perform all calculations and operations you execute in
Workbench. You will be writing queries through the Workbench interface, in the
form of raw code, which MySQL server understands and processe.
Finally, when it finalizes its calculations, it will bring the respective
results back to you in the form of an output displayed on your screen.

@OP your statement is not correct.
Microsoft owns MySQL not Oracle.
Oracle owns SQL and PL/SQL
I used the later at work.
While the both work the same way, their key words and syntax differ a bit. if you can write scripts in one, you can understand the other.
