All script apps such as forums or virtual stores save their data in a database - a group of cells and tables which contains all of the site information such as items, prices, comments, etc. Whenever you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed info, then displays it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is called a database management system and among the most famous ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used as it can run on various platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with a variety of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Python, Perl), not mentioning its amazing performance even with big databases. Numerous well-known platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ employ MySQL databases to save their content.
