All script applications such as forums or web stores keep their information within a database - a collection of cells and tables containing all of the Internet site data such as items, prices, comments, etc. When you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the necessary information, then shows it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is called a database management system and one of the most widely used ones is MySQL. The latter is commonly used because it runs on various platforms (Windows, Linux, UNIX) and with numerous scripting languages (PHP, Java, Python, Perl), not mentioning its amazing efficiency even with large databases. Lots of famous platforms such as Joomla or WordPress use MySQL databases to store their content.
