All script applications including forums or virtual stores save their info inside a database - a set of cells and tables which contains the site information including items, prices, comments, etc. Anytime you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required info, then displays it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is called a database management system and one of the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used simply because it works on different platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with a number of scripting languages (Java, Perl, Python, PHP), not mentioning its great performance even with huge databases. A lot of widely used platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to keep their content.
