All script applications like forums or virtual stores store their information in a database - a collection of cells and tables which contains all the site information like items, prices, comments, and so forth. Whenever you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed information, then shows it. The mid-level software which connects the script and the database is called a database management system and amongst the most popular ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used as it can run on several platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with numerous scripting languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python), not mentioning its amazing functionality even with big databases. A lot of well-known platforms such as Joomla™ or WordPress work with MySQL databases to store their content.
