All script applications including forums or online shops keep their info within a database - a set of cells and tables which contains the website data such as items, prices, comments, and so forth. When you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified information, then shows it. The mid-level software which connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and amongst the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used as it can run on several platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with a number of scripting languages (Python, PHP, Perl, Java), not mentioning its great effectiveness even with big databases. Numerous widely used platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ use MySQL databases to save their content.
