All script apps such as forums or web shops store their info in a database - a set of cells and tables that contains all of the site info like items, prices, comments, and so forth. Whenever you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed info, then displays it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and amongst the most popular ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used simply because it can run on different platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with a variety of scripting languages (Python, Perl, PHP, Java), not mentioning its amazing performance even with big databases. Numerous popular platforms including Joomla™ or WordPress employ MySQL databases to save their content.
