What is MySQL
MySQL is a database where a web application stores content, users, settings or orders. WordPress and many other applications may need it.

A database for the website
MySQL is a database system.
Many websites are not only files. They also need to store information: posts, products, users, settings or forms. That information may live in a MySQL database.
Files and database
Website files are uploaded by SFTP or created by an application. The database stores structured information.
When making a backup, you often need both: files and database.
At PRIMARI.NET
The Web hosting service may show MySQL access details and phpMyAdmin access.
The MySQL user is usually derived from the domain and the password is the one defined for the database or application.
When to contact PRIMARI.NET
Contact PRIMARI.NET if an application asks for a database, if you are unsure which user or password to use or if you want to migrate a website that already has MySQL.
