All script apps like forums or virtual stores keep their info in a database - a group of cells and tables containing all of the Internet site information including items, prices, comments, etc. When you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required info, then shows it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is called a database management system and amongst the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used because it can run on several platforms (Windows, Linux, UNIX) and with a range of scripting languages (PHP, Perl, Python, Java), not mentioning its great performance even with big databases. Numerous popular platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ use MySQL databases to store their content.
