All script applications like forums or virtual stores save their info inside a database - a collection of cells and tables that contains all of the website information including items, prices, comments, etc. Whenever you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed information, then shows it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is called a database management system and amongst the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used simply because it operates on various platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with a variety of scripting languages (PHP, Perl, Python, Java), not mentioning its wonderful performance even with big databases. Numerous widely used platforms such as WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to store their content.
