All script applications like forums or online shops save their data in a database - a set of cells and tables containing all of the website data like items, prices, comments, and so forth. Each time you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required information, then displays it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and amongst the most popular ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used because it runs on a number of platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with a range of scripting languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python), not mentioning its great functionality even with massive databases. Numerous popular platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ employ MySQL databases to save their content.
