All script apps such as forums or e-shops store their information within a database - a group of cells and tables containing all of the site data including items, prices, comments, and so on. When you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary information, then displays it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and one of the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used as it functions on different platforms (Windows, Linux, UNIX) and with a variety of scripting languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python), not mentioning its great efficiency even with large databases. Many widely used platforms such as WordPress or Joomla™ use MySQL databases to keep their content.
