A database driven authoring tool... as in the paragraph below, stolen from http://www.cherryleaf.com/single_sourcing-part3.htm

Database driven single sourcing:
Database driven single sourcing identifies grains of information as fields within a database. These fields can then be identified and assembled using a selection of queries. It is not always immediately obvious that a particular solution is making use of database technology; often the workings of the database are hidden behind a graphical user interface (GUI). You may configure your single source project simply by checking boxes and making selections from lists.

Not sure what you're asking. Are you looking for a
database driven help authoring tool or merely a means
of storing help text in a database for later use?
