All script applications including forums or virtual shops store their data within a database - a set of cells and tables which contains all the website information including items, prices, comments, and many others. Anytime you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary information, then displays it. The mid-level software which connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and amongst the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used because it functions on a variety of platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with a number of scripting languages (Java, Perl, Python, PHP), not mentioning its fantastic effectiveness even with massive databases. Numerous famous platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to keep their content.
