When you use a script-driven application for your Internet site, any data that both you and the website users generate will be stored inside a database - an accumulation of data, that is arranged in cells and tables for simpler 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 large amount of script applications are created to work with MySQL since it’s easy to work with, it functions really well on a website hosting server and it's universal as it can function with famous web programming languages (Python, Perl, PHP, Java) and on various web server Operating Systems (Windows, UNIX, Linux). There are huge amounts of scripts that use MySQL, including quite popular ones for instance WordPress, Joomla™ and Moodle.
