All script apps such as forums or online stores keep their info in a database - a collection of cells and tables containing the site data including items, prices, comments, and so on. When you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed data, then displays it. The mid-level software which connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and one of the most popular ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used because it functions on different platforms (Linux, Windows, UNIX) and with numerous scripting languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python), not mentioning its wonderful performance even with big databases. Numerous well-known platforms such as WordPress or Joomla work with MySQL databases to save their content.
