All script apps like forums or web shops save their data inside a database - a collection of cells and tables which contains all of the site data including items, prices, comments, and many others. Every time you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed info, 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 frequently used as it can run on a number of platforms (Windows, Linux, UNIX) and with a range of scripting languages (Python, Perl, PHP, Java), not mentioning its excellent performance even with huge databases. A lot of famous platforms including Joomla™ or WordPress use MySQL databases to keep their content.
