All script apps like forums or web stores keep their information within a database - a collection of cells and tables containing all of the site info like items, prices, comments, and many others. Whenever you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required data, then displays it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and among the most famous ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used simply because it runs on a variety of platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with a number of scripting languages (Python, PHP, Perl, Java), not mentioning its amazing efficiency even with big databases. Numerous popular platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ use MySQL databases to keep their content.
