All script apps including forums or virtual stores store their info in a database - a collection of cells and tables containing the site info like items, prices, comments, and many others. Whenever you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified information, then displays it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and among the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used simply because it can run on various platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with a range of scripting languages (Java, Perl, Python, PHP), not mentioning its excellent efficiency even with massive databases. Lots of popular platforms including Joomla™ or WordPress employ MySQL databases to keep their content.
