All script applications like forums or web stores keep their info inside a database - a set of cells and tables containing all of the site data including items, prices, comments, and so forth. Whenever you open a certain page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary data, then displays it. The intermediary software which 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 simply because it runs on a variety of platforms (Windows, UNIX, Linux) and with numerous scripting languages (Java, Perl, Python, PHP), not mentioning its great performance even with large databases. Lots of widely used platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ employ MySQL databases to save their content.
