Discussion and Answer

TWiki does not require any database to operate, only a flat file system. TWiki itself has a built in database where you can create TWiki applications.

There are database plugins, such as the DatabasePlugin if you want to query a database and show resulting tables in a TWiki topic. With those it depends mainly on the Perl database drivers you install, e.g. is external to TWiki.
