All script applications like forums or virtual shops save their data in a database - a collection of cells and tables containing all of the Internet site info like items, prices, comments, and many others. Each time you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required data, then shows it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is called a database management system and one of the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used simply because it functions on a number of platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with a variety of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python), not mentioning its wonderful functionality even with big databases. Lots of famous platforms including Joomla™ or WordPress use MySQL databases to keep their content.
