All script apps including forums or web stores store their data in a database - a set of cells and tables containing all of the website information including items, prices, comments, etc. Anytime you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed information, then displays it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and one of the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used as it operates on several platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with a number of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python), not mentioning its great effectiveness even with large databases. Many popular platforms such as Joomla™ or WordPress use MySQL databases to store their content.
