All script applications including forums or virtual stores keep their data inside a database - a collection of cells and tables that contains all of the website information such as items, prices, comments, and so forth. Each time you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary data, then displays it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is called a database management system and one of the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used because it runs on a variety of platforms (Linux, Windows, UNIX) and with a number of scripting languages (Python, Perl, PHP, Java), not mentioning its wonderful efficiency even with huge databases. Numerous well-known platforms including Joomla™ or WordPress employ MySQL databases to save their content.
