All script apps such as forums or online stores keep their data inside a database - a set of cells and tables which contains the Internet site data like items, prices, comments, etc. Whenever you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary data, then displays it. The mid-level software which connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and one of the most popular ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used as it operates on several platforms (Linux, Windows, UNIX) and with a variety of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Python, Perl), not mentioning its fantastic effectiveness even with huge databases. Many well-known platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ employ MySQL databases to store their content.
