All script applications like forums or virtual stores keep their info inside a database - a group of cells and tables containing all the website data like items, prices, comments, and so forth. Anytime you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified data, then shows it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and amongst the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used simply because it functions on a number of platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with a number of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python), not mentioning its great effectiveness even with massive databases. Lots of widely used platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ employ MySQL databases to save their content.
