All script apps like forums or e-stores store their info within a database - a group of cells and tables that contains all the Internet site info like items, prices, comments, and so on. When you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary info, then shows it. The intermediary software which connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and among the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used because it can run on different platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with numerous scripting languages (Java, PHP, Perl, Python), not mentioning its excellent efficiency even with massive databases. A lot of well-known platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to save their content.
