All script apps including forums or web stores keep their information inside a database - a set of cells and tables which contains all of the website info such as items, prices, comments, and many others. Each time you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified data, then displays it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and among the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used simply because it operates on a variety of platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with numerous scripting languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python), not mentioning its wonderful functionality even with big databases. Many famous platforms including Joomla™ or WordPress work with MySQL databases to keep their content.
