All script applications such as forums or e-stores keep their info within a database - a collection of cells and tables containing all of the site data such as items, prices, comments, and many others. Whenever you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the required information, then displays it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is called a database management system and amongst the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used as it works on a variety of platforms (UNIX, Linux, Windows) and with numerous scripting languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python), not mentioning its great performance even with big databases. Lots of popular platforms including Joomla™ or WordPress work with MySQL databases to keep their content.
