All script applications such as forums or online stores save their data inside a database - a group of cells and tables that contains all of the website data such as items, prices, comments, and so forth. Every time you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified info, then displays it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and amongst the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used simply because it runs on a number of platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with numerous scripting languages (Python, Perl, PHP, Java), not mentioning its fantastic performance even with huge databases. Numerous famous platforms such as Joomla™ or WordPress use MySQL databases to save their content.
