All script applications like forums or web stores store their data inside a database - a group of cells and tables containing the website data such as items, prices, comments, and many others. Every time you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required information, 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 widely used as it works on a number of platforms (Windows, Linux, UNIX) and with a range of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python), not mentioning its wonderful functionality even with big databases. Numerous well-known platforms such as WordPress or Joomla™ use MySQL databases to store their content.
