All script applications including forums or e-shops save their data in a database - a group of cells and tables which contains all of the site info like items, prices, comments, and so forth. When you open a specific 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 popular ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used as it can run on a variety of platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with a variety of scripting languages (Python, PHP, Perl, Java), not mentioning its fantastic effectiveness even with large databases. Lots of famous platforms like Joomla™ or WordPress use MySQL databases to store their content.
