All script apps like forums or e-shops store their information inside a database - a group of cells and tables which contains all of the website info including items, prices, comments, etc. Each time you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed information, then shows it. The mid-level software which 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 simply because it runs on different platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with a number of scripting languages (Python, PHP, Perl, Java), not mentioning its fantastic functionality even with huge databases. Lots of famous platforms such as WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to store their content.
