All script applications like forums or web stores store their info in a database - a set of cells and tables which contains the website info like items, prices, comments, and so forth. When you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified data, then displays it. The mid-level software that 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 commonly used as it can run on several platforms (Linux, Windows, UNIX) and with a variety of scripting languages (PHP, Perl, Python, Java), not mentioning its great functionality even with big databases. Many famous platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to store their content.
