All script apps such as forums or online shops store their information inside a database - a collection of cells and tables containing all the site information such as items, prices, comments, etc. When you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required information, then displays it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is called a database management system and among the most famous ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used simply because it works on a number of platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with a variety of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python), not mentioning its fantastic performance even with big databases. Numerous widely used platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to store their content.
