MySQL 5 Databases
Find out what relational databases are and whether using MySQL databases can be beneficial for your sites and applications.
All script applications such as forums or virtual stores save their data inside a database - a group of cells and tables that contains the site info including items, prices, comments, etc. When you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required data, then shows it. The mid-level software which connects the script and the database is called a database management system and one of the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used because it runs on several platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with a range of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python), not mentioning its excellent effectiveness even with big databases. Many popular platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to store their content.
