All script applications such as forums or web stores store their info within a database - a group of cells and tables containing all the Internet site data such as items, prices, comments, and many others. Whenever you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required information, then shows it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is called a database management system and amongst the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used because it can run on a number of platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with a variety of scripting languages (PHP, Perl, Python, Java), not mentioning its wonderful functionality even with massive databases. Lots of popular platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ employ MySQL databases to save their content.
