All script applications like forums or web shops keep their data inside a database - a group of cells and tables which contains all of the website data such as items, prices, comments, and many others. Whenever you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified info, then shows it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and among the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used simply because it functions on various platforms (Linux, Windows, UNIX) and with a variety of scripting languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python), not mentioning its amazing efficiency even with huge databases. A lot of famous platforms such as Joomla™ or WordPress employ MySQL databases to save their content.
