All script applications such as forums or e-stores save their info within a database - a group of cells and tables which contains the site info such as items, prices, comments, and so forth. Whenever you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified info, then displays it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and one of the most famous ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used simply because it runs on different platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with a variety of scripting languages (Java, Perl, Python, PHP), not mentioning its amazing efficiency even with big databases. A lot of well-known platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to save their content.
