All script apps like forums or e-shops save their info inside a database - a collection of cells and tables which contains all of the site data like items, prices, comments, and so on. Each time you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified info, then shows it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and among the most famous ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used simply because it can run on a number of platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with numerous scripting languages (Java, Perl, Python, PHP), not mentioning its wonderful effectiveness even with huge databases. Lots of well-known platforms like Joomla™ or WordPress employ MySQL databases to store their content.
