All script apps such as forums or e-shops store their data in a database - a group of cells and tables containing all the site information including items, prices, comments, and many others. Every time you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary data, then displays it. The intermediary software which 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 commonly used as it functions on various platforms (Windows, Linux, UNIX) and with a number of scripting languages (Python, Perl, PHP, Java), not mentioning its excellent effectiveness even with big databases. Numerous popular platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ employ MySQL databases to keep their content.
