All script apps such as forums or e-shops store their information inside a database - a collection of cells and tables containing all the Internet site data like items, prices, comments, and many others. Each time you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified data, then displays it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and among the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used simply because it functions on a number of platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with a number of scripting languages (Python, Perl, PHP, Java), not mentioning its amazing effectiveness even with massive databases. Many widely used platforms such as WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to save their content.
