All script applications like forums or e-stores keep their information in a database - a collection of cells and tables containing all of the website data like items, prices, comments, etc. Whenever you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required data, then displays it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and amongst the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used because it can run on various platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with a number of scripting languages (PHP, Perl, Python, Java), not mentioning its wonderful performance even with large databases. A lot of well-known platforms such as WordPress or Joomla™ use MySQL databases to keep their content.
