One canonical dictionary entry associated with Databases. Category associations do not create separate skill pages.
Overview
What MySQL refers to
MySQL is listed in ResumeITKeys as database technology or data-management practice. Its exact scope can vary by organization and role, so read it alongside the employer’s stated responsibilities. The dictionary also maps MariaDB to this canonical entry.
A posting may mention MySQL in connection with data modeling, querying, persistence, migrations, or database operations. Check nearby verbs, deliverables, and ownership expectations; the term alone does not establish the expected depth or mean every employer requires it.

Resume placement
How to include MySQL in a resume
List it in Skills when it is relevant to the role and you can discuss your level accurately.
Show practical use in an experience or project entry: state the task, your contribution, and evidence.
Connect it to a specific project instead of repeating the keyword without context.
Describe proficiency plainly, such as coursework, a completed project, or professional use; do not imply a certification you have not earned.
Use the job posting's wording only where it accurately describes your experience. Avoid keyword stuffing.
