controlled by a database
Etymology
'database-driven' originates from the combination of 'database' and 'driven,' where 'database' refers to a structured set of data held in a computer, and 'driven' implies being controlled or powered by something.
'database' evolved from the term 'data' and 'base,' while 'driven' comes from the past participle of 'drive,' meaning to propel or control.
Initially, 'driven' meant 'propelled by,' but in this context, it evolved to mean 'controlled or influenced by a database.'
