All script apps including forums or web shops keep their information inside a database - a set of cells and tables which contains the Internet site data including items, prices, comments, and many others. Each time you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified data, then shows it. The mid-level software which 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 functions on a variety of platforms (Windows, Linux, UNIX) and with numerous scripting languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python), not mentioning its amazing effectiveness even with big databases. A lot of well-known platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to keep their content.
