All script apps like forums or e-shops keep their data in a database - a collection of cells and tables that contains the website data like items, prices, comments, etc. Every time you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified information, then displays it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and among the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used simply because it runs on various platforms (Linux, Windows, UNIX) and with a number of scripting languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python), not mentioning its amazing functionality even with massive databases. Lots of well-known platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ use MySQL databases to keep their content.
