All script applications such as forums or online stores keep their data in a database - a group of cells and tables that contains all the Internet site info such as items, prices, comments, and many others. Each time you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required data, then displays it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is called a database management system and amongst the most famous ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used as it runs on several platforms (Linux, Windows, UNIX) and with a number of scripting languages (PHP, Perl, Python, Java), not mentioning its wonderful functionality even with large databases. Lots of famous platforms including Joomla™ or WordPress work with MySQL databases to keep their content.
