All script applications including forums or virtual stores store their info within a database - a set of cells and tables containing all the site information such as items, prices, comments, etc. Whenever you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary info, then displays it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and amongst the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used because it functions on various platforms (Windows, Linux, UNIX) and with a variety of scripting languages (Java, Perl, Python, PHP), not mentioning its amazing performance even with large databases. Many well-known platforms such as WordPress or Joomla™ use MySQL databases to keep their content.
