All script apps such as forums or e-stores keep their info within a database - a set of cells and tables that contains all of the website information including items, prices, comments, and so forth. Each time you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required info, then displays it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and among the most popular ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used because it works on a variety of platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with a number of scripting languages (Python, PHP, Perl, Java), not mentioning its excellent performance even with huge databases. Many popular platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ employ MySQL databases to keep their content.
