All script apps such as forums or e-stores save their data in a database - a collection of cells and tables which contains the site info such as items, prices, comments, and many others. When you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required information, then displays it. The mid-level software which 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 operates on various platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with a range of scripting languages (PHP, Perl, Python, Java), not mentioning its fantastic performance even with big databases. Many famous platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to store their content.
