MySQL's first release was 20 years ago. And now the most popular open source database is used by a huge number of individuals and companies across the globe.
Join us in celebrating 20 years of MySQL.
If you are a MySQL expert, you might want to prove your knowledge

Those who want to improve and prove their MySQL knowledge could
take advantage of the Discount Value Packages, getting 20% off

2015 is actually a year of anniversaries. As well as MySQL reaching the big two-oh, we are also celebrating 10 years of InnoDB under the stewardship of Oracle, and five years of MySQL @ Oracle.
Please make sure toast to MySQL this weekend!
