All script apps such as forums or online stores store their info within a database - a set of cells and tables which contains all of the website information such as items, prices, comments, etc. Whenever you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified info, then shows it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and among the most popular ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used because it runs on a number of platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with a variety of scripting languages (Python, PHP, Perl, Java), not mentioning its wonderful performance even with large databases. Numerous famous platforms such as WordPress or Joomla™ use MySQL databases to keep their content.
