All script applications like forums or e-stores save their data inside a database - a group of cells and tables that contains all the Internet site info including items, prices, comments, and many others. Every time you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed info, then displays it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and one of the most popular ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used because it operates on several platforms (Windows, Linux, UNIX) and with a variety of scripting languages (Java, Perl, Python, PHP), not mentioning its great performance even with large databases. Lots of popular platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ employ MySQL databases to keep their content.
