I've just bought the professional version of Website professional X5 version 12 and I see some options require "credits". Does this mean I need to buy these options? This version claims to have dynamic content but it looks as if I have to buy the database viewer.

...you can use these credits to buy additional objets; you can find them on the full list at the side of page construction...you are not obliged but to add more options...
Hello Brian,
The Dynamic Content Object is a standard feature of WebSite X5 Professional, which does not require any additional purchases.

Hi Paul, so what does the database viewer actually do then?
It allows you to retrieve and display data pulled from MySQL databases in your web pages:

Thanks Paul. So, if I have, for example, a set of football scores stored on my data base and I want to display them on my web site would I need the viewer to do that?
If you have a good working knowledge of PHP and MySQL then you could write your own custom code to display the football scores from your database on your website.
The advantage of the Database Viewer is that it does all the hard work for you, and you can use it in your web pages without having to write custom code.
