All script apps such as forums or online shops store their information in a database - a group of cells and tables that contains the website information such as items, prices, comments, and so forth. Every time you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required information, then shows it. The mid-level software which connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and among the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used because it operates on different platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with a range of scripting languages (PHP, Perl, Python, Java), not mentioning its amazing performance even with massive databases. Many well-known platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to store their content.
