All script applications like forums or virtual shops save their data within a database - a group of cells and tables that contains the site info such as items, prices, comments, etc. Whenever you open a particular page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the specified info, then shows it. The mid-level 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 functions on various platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with a variety of scripting languages (PHP, Perl, Python, Java), not mentioning its amazing efficiency even with big databases. Many popular platforms like WordPress or Joomla™ work with MySQL databases to store their content.
