All script applications such as forums or e-stores store their data inside a database - a group of cells and tables that contains all of the site information including items, prices, comments, and many others. Every time you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed data, then shows it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and amongst the most famous ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used because it works on a number of platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with a range of scripting languages (Python, Perl, PHP, Java), not mentioning its fantastic efficiency even with huge databases. Numerous popular platforms including Joomla™ or WordPress work with MySQL databases to keep their content.
