All script apps such as forums or virtual stores save their data within a database - a collection of cells and tables which contains all the website data like items, prices, comments, and many others. Each time you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified data, then shows it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is called a database management system and amongst the most famous ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used simply because it operates on several platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with a variety of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python), not mentioning its wonderful effectiveness even with massive databases. Numerous famous platforms like Joomla™ or WordPress use MySQL databases to save their content.
