MySQL and Business Intelligence
MySQL is one of the most popular Open Source
database systems in the world.
Starting with MySQL 4.1, it also became a valid alternative to other commercial databases due to the
powerful new features incorporated into it.
If you are developing and distributing open source applications under the GPL License, then you are free to use MySQL at no charge. This makes it an ideal option for small/medium businesses that cannot afford utilizing a commercial database such as Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle.
