A database driven website is a site that contains information on it's pages drawn from a database on request. Without knowing it when you search for pages using search engines or look at products on ecommerce sites you are almost certainly making requests to a database. When this happens the records in the database that match your criteria are inserted into the page and sent to your browser. This approach is not always appropriate but when it is there are many benefits to be found as follows:
1. The user can specify criteria and search in a number of ways
2. The same information can be presented in a variety of ways
3. The information can be sorted
4. Maintenance is a lot easier
