We all know MySQL is the world's most popular open source database. As per wikipedia, MySQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS) which has more than 11 million installations. The program runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases.
You can see a couple of enthusiasts (see picture) learn more about MySQL from the in-house expert, Thava.
Your time would be better spent learning Oracle or PostgreSQL, or even Teradata, if you are truly RDBMS enthusiasts.
MySQL is a filesystem with a SQL interface. Woe to you should you put it in production, then you'll get a chance to learn just how shoddy MySQL is.
Don't waste your time. Oracle is awesome, PostgreSQL an order of magnitude above & beyond MySQL.
