All script applications including forums or virtual shops save their information in a database - a group of cells and tables that contains all the website data such as items, prices, comments, and so forth. Anytime you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed information, then shows it. The mid-level software which connects the script and the database is called a database management system and amongst the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used as it functions on a variety of platforms (Windows, Linux, UNIX) and with a range of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python), not mentioning its excellent functionality even with massive databases. Numerous popular platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to store their content.
