All script applications including forums or online stores keep their data inside a database - a group of cells and tables that contains all of the site information including items, prices, comments, and many others. Each time you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified information, then shows it. The mid-level software which connects the script and the database is called a database management system and among the most popular ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used as it can run on various platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with a number of scripting languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python), not mentioning its amazing efficiency even with big databases. Lots of popular platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to keep their content.
