The latter is accomplished through special software called database management system and one of the most well-known ones globally is MySQL. A wide range of script applications are designed to work with MySQL as it is convenient to use, it functions perfectly on a web hosting server and it's universal as it can work with well-known web programming languages (Python, Perl, PHP, Java) and on several web server Operating Systems (UNIX, Linux, Windows). There are loads of scripts that use MySQL, including quite popular ones like WordPress, Joomla™ and Moodle.
