All script applications including forums or virtual shops store their data inside a database - a collection of cells and tables containing all of the site data like items, prices, comments, etc. Whenever you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified info, then shows it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and amongst the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used simply because it can run on a variety of platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with numerous scripting languages (Java, Perl, Python, PHP), not mentioning its excellent performance even with large databases. Lots of popular platforms including Joomla™ or WordPress work with MySQL databases to keep their content.
