All script applications such as forums or web shops store their data inside a database - a set of cells and tables containing all the site data including items, prices, comments, and many others. Each time you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified information, then shows it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is called a database management system and among the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used as it works on various platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with a range of scripting languages (Java, Perl, Python, PHP), not mentioning its amazing performance even with big databases. Numerous widely used platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ employ MySQL databases to keep their content.
