When you use a script-driven application for your site, any info which both you and the site users produce shall be stored within a database - a collection of information, which is arranged in cells and tables for simplier and easier reading and writing. The latter is carried out through special software known as database management system and one of the most well-known ones around the globe is MySQL. A wide range of script applications are created to work with MySQL because it’s easy to use, it functions exceptionally well on a server and it's also universal as it can perform with famous web programming languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python) and on several server OS (Windows, Linux, UNIX). There are literally thousands of scripts which use MySQL, including very popular ones such as Moodle, Joomla™ and WordPress.
