All script applications like forums or web shops save their information in a database - a collection of cells and tables containing all of the website info including items, prices, comments, etc. Anytime you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed data, then shows it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and among the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used simply because it can run on various platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with a range of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python), not mentioning its fantastic functionality even with huge databases. A lot of popular platforms such as WordPress or Joomla™ employ MySQL databases to save their content.
