All script applications such as forums or web stores keep their info in a database - a set of cells and tables that contains the Internet site data including items, prices, comments, etc. When you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified data, then displays it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and one of the most popular ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used because it functions on a variety of platforms (Windows, Linux, UNIX) and with a number of scripting languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python), not mentioning its fantastic efficiency even with huge databases. A lot of widely used platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ employ MySQL databases to save their content.
