All script apps like forums or online stores keep their info in a database - a group of cells and tables which contains all of the website info such as items, prices, comments, etc. When you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed data, then shows it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and among the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used as it works on different platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with a variety of scripting languages (Java, Perl, Python, PHP), not mentioning its fantastic effectiveness even with huge databases. Many famous platforms such as WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to store their content.
