All script applications like forums or online shops save their data inside a database - a set of cells and tables which contains all of the website data such as items, prices, comments, and many others. Each time you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required info, then displays it. The mid-level software which 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 commonly used as it can run on a number of platforms (Linux, Windows, UNIX) and with numerous scripting languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python), not mentioning its fantastic efficiency even with huge databases. Lots of popular platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ use MySQL databases to store their content.
