Database-Driven Web Sites

Database driven web sites are very popular these days. What is it? They are essentially a "back-end" database with web pages that contain "script" programming language capable of pulling specific information from the database depending on what the user wants to know.

E-commerce applications are very common, where a variety of information must be stored in a database, such as product info, stock numbers, prices, discounts, shipping costs and so on. Content management systems operate off of database driven sites.
