All script applications such as forums or web stores store their data in a database - a collection of cells and tables that contains all of the website data such as items, prices, comments, etc. Every time you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified information, then displays it. The mid-level software that connects the script and the database is referred to as a database management system and one of the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is widely used because it works on different platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with a number of scripting languages (PHP, Perl, Python, Java), not mentioning its amazing effectiveness even with huge databases. Lots of popular platforms such as Joomla™ or WordPress employ MySQL databases to store their content.
