All script apps such as forums or web shops store their information in a database - a collection of cells and tables that contains all of the website info such as items, prices, comments, and many others. Each time you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary data, then displays it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and one of the most famous ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used simply because it works on different platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with a number of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python), not mentioning its amazing effectiveness even with huge databases. Many famous platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ use MySQL databases to store their content.
