All script applications such as forums or virtual stores keep their info in a database - a group of cells and tables which contains the website information such as items, prices, comments, and so on. Every time you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified data, then displays it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and among the most famous ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used as it works on various platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with a variety of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Python, Perl), not mentioning its fantastic efficiency even with large databases. Many popular platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to store their content.
