All script apps like forums or virtual stores keep their info in a database - a group of cells and tables that contains all the Internet site info such as items, prices, comments, and so on. Each time you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed data, then shows it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is called a database management system and among the most popular ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used simply because it runs on different platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with a variety of scripting languages (Java, Perl, Python, PHP), not mentioning its fantastic effectiveness even with huge databases. A lot of famous platforms including Joomla™ or WordPress employ MySQL databases to save their content.
