All script applications including forums or online shops save their info within a database - a set of cells and tables containing all the site data like items, prices, comments, and so on. Whenever you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified data, then shows it. The mid-level software which connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and amongst the most popular ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used simply because it can run on various platforms (Windows, Linux, UNIX) and with numerous scripting languages (PHP, Java, Python, Perl), not mentioning its wonderful performance even with massive databases. Lots of popular platforms such as WordPress or Joomla employ MySQL databases to store their content.
