Most applications use some form of data store, with the application itself being a means to store, retrieve, manipulate, and view data. These applications might use a SQL Server 2005 database, a storage area network, or even a simple XML file. Web applications are no exception, and typically these applications are termed data-driven applications . When it comes to retrieving and representing data, a myriad of options are available; over time, the technology has evolved dramatically. The reason for this is that the code needed to access data and the engines that run the data itself tend to be resource heavy, and in situations such as on the Web where they may be used in clustered environments (i.e., the same application running on a number of machines) and serving millions of users, they can be expensive to maintain. As a result, the technology that developers use to create data-driven applications has evolved rapidly, driven by the needs of scaling to large audiences.
