No, MySQL is not a coding language. It’s a database management system (DBMS) that uses SQL for interacting with, managing, and monitoring data. You use SQL to write commands that eventually manage and manipulate data within a MySQL database.  

You can learn to use MySQL in a few weeks. In some cases, the time duration can extend to several months. Also, it depends on your prior knowledge and learning pace. 

Yes, MySQL is still in high demand. It’s a widely used database system for web applications, e-commerce platforms, and data-driven businesses. The ability to work with MySQL is a valuable skill for many roles like database administrators, data analysts, and web developers.

SQL (Structured Query Language) is a standard language that manages relational databases. It's used to structure data, perform queries, and manipulate information within a database. Whereas, MySQL is a specific database management system that implements the SQL standard. It's a software product used to store, manage, and retrieve data efficiently.

The best MySQL course for beginners depends on your learning style and goals. Look at our catalog for top-selling courses like SQL for Mere Mortals, MySQL, PHP MySQL Web Development, and more for practical exercises mirroring real-world challenges.
