All script applications including forums or web stores save their data inside a database - a collection of cells and tables containing all the Internet site data including items, prices, comments, and so on. Every time you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required data, then displays it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is called a database management system and one of the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used simply because it can run on a number of platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with a number of scripting languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python), not mentioning its excellent effectiveness even with large databases. Numerous widely used platforms such as WordPress or Joomla™ use MySQL databases to save their content.
