All script apps like forums or web stores store their data inside a database - a set of cells and tables containing all the website information including items, prices, comments, and so on. Each time you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed information, then shows it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and one of the most popular ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used simply because it functions on a variety of platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with a range of scripting languages (Python, Perl, PHP, Java), not mentioning its great effectiveness even with huge databases. Numerous well-known platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ use MySQL databases to save their content.
