well the data is stored in a database and based on the user's
selection(s), the data is served.

Think of a shopping cart. You click that you want to see info
about shirts, the result is that the database serves up a list of
shirts. Next, you select long-sleeved and the database serves
up a list of long-sleeved shirts which may include pictures and
other information.

Basically, having a database-driven site allows you to not have to hard code every single page-- you can call in data and templates, depending on what the user is doing. You can re-use code more easily and more efficiently than with a more basic site.
