All script apps including forums or online shops save their info within a database - a set of cells and tables which contains the website data such as items, prices, comments, etc. Anytime you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed data, then displays it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is called a database management system and among the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used simply because it runs on a number of platforms (Linux, Windows, UNIX) and with a number of scripting languages (Java, Perl, Python, PHP), not mentioning its wonderful functionality even with huge databases. Lots of popular platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ employ MySQL databases to save their content.
