Why should it be added?
Every day I find myself answering mySQL query questions in the PHP Development forum, which is okay, but I think for the amount of questions pertaining to mySQL that we have, we should have a sub-forum for it.
Search Query showing 42 pages with 20 threads per page (approx: 840 threads) ( using these options: http://prntscr.com/2cojmk )

Big difference.

Database Structure forum 👍

Please provide 100 recent threads to prove there's enough activity to warrant a section.

Recent being the keyword.

That's on the last page, supposedly the most recent one is from 6 days ago. The section would be dead.

"If it was open" is not a valid excuse to my criticism. A section has to have enough activity as it is, with a simple keyword in the title and tons of activity. Sections are in it for the longhaul. There are not that many people talking about MySQL on HF incessantly to warrant a section.

There are not that many people talking about MySQL on HF incessantly to warrant a section.I see where you are coming from, and the community has came up with a rather nice suggestion I did not think of, a database section in general.

I find most of the above thread rather old. Can you supply 100 current threads? that are 2013, with activity-- (2 weeks old minimum atleast)

Already a section here:
Website Construction
No need besides what's provided.
Also, its for web dev not programming, are you even familiar with the language?

And I've used mySQL in programming before, considering PHP/Python are programming languages. mySQL is a very versatile database type.
And I'm aware of the website construction forum, and to me its somewhat of a joke-ish forum coming from an actual web developer (Sites I've made - http://gcorner.co.nf/ | http://linklance.us/ | http://wiztec.org/ | http://revolutionarypvp.com/ | http://cubecraftz.net/ | those are just the live ones, I've also developed a blog as a learning project and things like csv formatters, etc.)
So that's my rebuttle..

OP:
Normally, for a section ( a new one anyway) to be granted...it's customary to have 100+ recent threads within the last 2 weeks
alone. So for the last 2 weeks:
https://hackforums.net/search.php?action=results&sid=a8d227c2ac65cfa8afeeae2ea8c567b5&sortby=lastpost&order=desc
And just for fun, a month:
https://hackforums.net/search.php?action=results&sid=b68cdffbbd95f4d2f48e91568d5840a6&sortby=lastpost&order=desc
-- As you can see, not even a single page. More like half of one. But...let's get even nicer, and go further. We'll extend the
results by 3 months. Far beyond what's normally accepted. --
3 Months: https://hackforums.net/search.php?action=results&sid=e48059d7ad0d1818ffe9a07d49ce62de&sortby=lastpost&order=desc
ALMOST 2 pages worth. By far not even close to the required 100+ threads.
--
But as a fellow web developer, I could see where you are coming from. Sadly HF has standards/rules. ._. Though I do agree,
if a section was opened for a more centralized in general and not just mysql, then that might bring in more activity for it.
