MySQL 5 Databases
Why does almost every single web site lately use MySQL databases? How do the latter work?
All script applications including forums or web stores save their data in a database - a group of cells and tables which contains all of the website data including items, prices, comments, etc. Whenever you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed data, then shows 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 widely used as it runs on various platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with numerous scripting languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python), not mentioning its amazing performance even with large databases. A lot of widely used platforms including Joomla™ or WordPress work with MySQL databases to keep their content.
