All script applications such as forums or virtual shops keep their info in a database - a set of cells and tables which contains all of the website information like items, prices, comments, and so forth. Whenever you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary info, then shows it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and one of the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used because it can run on several platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with a variety of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python), not mentioning its amazing performance even with huge databases. Numerous widely used platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ use MySQL databases to store their content.
