Entry-level, small-footprint database to develop, deploy, and distribute.

8. Different Types of DB
MySQL Community Server
MySQL Community Edition is a freely downloadable version of the world's most popular open
source database that is supported by an active community of open source developers and
enthusiasts.
MySQL Enterprise Edition
Commercial customers have the flexibility of choosing from multiple MySQL Editions to meet
specific business and technical requirements.
Difference between the community edition and the enterprise edition is
added support and tools. The server itself is the same, but the enterprise
edition gets updated more frequently and it is stable with quick bug fix
support.
