All script apps such as forums or web shops keep their info in a database - a collection of cells and tables containing all of the site data like items, prices, comments, and so forth. Whenever you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary data, then shows it. The mid-level software which connects the script and the database is called a database management system and one of the most popular ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used simply because it functions on a variety of platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with a number of scripting languages (Python, PHP, Perl, Java), not mentioning its amazing functionality even with big databases. Lots of popular platforms such as Joomla™ or WordPress work with MySQL databases to store their content.
