All script applications such as forums or virtual stores store their data inside a database - a set of cells and tables which contains all the site data including items, prices, comments, and so on. Whenever you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed data, then shows it. The mid-level software which 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 widely used because it can run on various platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with a variety of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Python, Perl), not mentioning its excellent effectiveness even with big databases. Many widely used platforms such as WordPress or Joomla™ employ MySQL databases to store their content.
