MySQL is an open-source relational database management system. Its most part modified in C and C++

Linux and Windows and its language structure/syntax is less complex and simple to use when contrasted
with MySQL.

DB2 is a relational database management system which was developed by IBM while Oracle is a
relational database management system from Oracle. Oracle sold their RDBMS product as an
independent application whereas IBM sold DB2 with their other hardware and OS products, commonly
with iSeries. Oracle can supports a Java application server directly, where users can deploy Java servlets
whereas to work on the java application with DB2, user need to employ a Java translator like Tomcat.
