All script apps such as forums or web stores keep their data within a database - a group of cells and tables that contains all of the site info including items, prices, comments, etc. Each time you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified info, then displays it. The mid-level software which connects the script and the database is known as a database management system and amongst the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used as it functions on various platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with a number of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Python, Perl), not mentioning its great efficiency even with large databases. Many widely used platforms including WordPress or Joomla™ use MySQL databases to save their content.
