All script apps like forums or virtual stores keep their info within a database - a collection of cells and tables which contains the site data including items, prices, comments, and so forth. Anytime you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary data, then shows it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and among the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used because it runs on several platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with a variety of scripting languages (PHP, Perl, Python, Java), not mentioning its wonderful effectiveness even with large databases. Lots of famous platforms such as Joomla™ or WordPress use MySQL databases to keep their content.
