All script applications like forums or virtual stores keep their info in a database - a set of cells and tables which contains all the site data like items, prices, comments, etc. Every time you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary info, then displays it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and one of the most popular ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used as it functions on several platforms (Linux, Windows, UNIX) and with a variety of scripting languages (Java, Perl, Python, PHP), not mentioning its excellent effectiveness even with big databases. Many popular platforms such as WordPress or Joomla™ employ MySQL databases to keep their content.
