All script applications like forums or online stores store their info within a database - a collection of cells and tables which contains all the Internet site information such as items, prices, comments, and so on. Each time you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified information, then displays it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and amongst the most famous ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used as it operates on different platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with numerous scripting languages (Python, PHP, Perl, Java), not mentioning its great effectiveness even with large databases. Numerous widely used platforms like Joomla™ or WordPress employ MySQL databases to save their content.
