All script applications including forums or web shops store their information inside a database - a collection of cells and tables containing the site information including items, prices, comments, and so on. When you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary data, then shows it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and amongst the most famous ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used as it can run on various platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with a range of scripting languages (Python, PHP, Perl, Java), not mentioning its amazing functionality even with big databases. Many well-known platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to keep their content.
