MySQL is a free, open-source Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) that uses Structured Query Language (SQL). DO NOT USE this tag for other DBs such as SQL Server, SQLite etc. Those are different DBs that all use their own dialects of SQL to manage the data. Always specify the exact version of the server in the question. Versions 5.x differ greatly in their capabilities from versions 8+Note that configuration/setup-related questions are off-topic on stackoverflow.

Modified excerpt to request that the server version be specified.
