All script apps such as forums or e-stores keep their information within a database - a group of cells and tables which contains the site info like items, prices, comments, and many others. When you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed information, then shows it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and among the most popular ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used as it runs on a variety of platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with numerous scripting languages (PHP, Perl, Python, Java), not mentioning its great functionality even with huge databases. Many popular platforms such as Joomla™ or WordPress work with MySQL databases to keep their content.
