All script apps including forums or e-shops save their information within a database - a collection of cells and tables which contains all the site data including items, prices, comments, etc. When you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary information, then shows it. The mid-level software which connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and among the most popular ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used because it works on various platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with a range of scripting languages (PHP, Perl, Python, Java), not mentioning its wonderful effectiveness even with massive databases. Lots of widely used platforms like Joomla™ or WordPress work with MySQL databases to save their content.
