All script apps like forums or web stores keep their data inside a database - a collection of cells and tables which contains all of the site information including items, prices, comments, etc. When you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed information, then displays it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and amongst the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used as it can run on various platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with a variety of scripting languages (Python, Perl, PHP, Java), not mentioning its wonderful performance even with big databases. A lot of popular platforms such as WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to keep their content.
