All script apps such as forums or virtual stores keep their information inside a database - a group of cells and tables containing all of the site info such as items, prices, comments, and so on. When you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary info, then displays it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and among the most popular ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used as it functions on several platforms (Linux, Windows, UNIX) and with a range of scripting languages (Python, PHP, Perl, Java), not mentioning its great performance even with big databases. A lot of widely used platforms including Joomla or WordPress employ MySQL databases to store their content.
