All script applications such as forums or virtual stores keep their information inside a database - a collection of cells and tables that contains the site information such as items, prices, comments, and many others. Whenever you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed info, then displays it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and amongst the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used as it can run on a variety of platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with a range of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python), not mentioning its excellent performance even with huge databases. Numerous widely used platforms such as Joomla™ or WordPress employ MySQL databases to store their content.
