All script apps like forums or virtual stores store their info within a database - a group of cells and tables which contains all of the website information like items, prices, comments, etc. Each time you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required information, then displays it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is called a database management system and among the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used simply because it works on different platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with a number of scripting languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python), not mentioning its wonderful effectiveness even with big databases. Lots of famous platforms like Joomla™ or WordPress employ MySQL databases to store their content.
