All script applications such as forums or web stores save their information inside a database - a set of cells and tables that contains the website data like items, prices, comments, etc. Every time you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required information, then shows it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and one of the most popular ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used because it operates on a number of platforms (Linux, Windows, UNIX) and with a number of scripting languages (Python, Perl, PHP, Java), not mentioning its great functionality even with big databases. Numerous popular platforms such as WordPress or Joomla™ employ MySQL databases to keep their content.
