Hello Salam

Yes - and no.

X5 only requires one database. It creates the tables that are needed. But most things ( products and prices ) is not stored in the database.

And - you have to have the X5-software and the project, to maintain products and prices.

No - products has to be uploaded via X5, AND they are not in a MySQL database. This is one of the reasons why X5 is not a tool with which you can create web-shops for clients.

But you could use another software for the shopping part ( example : OpenCart https://www.opencart.com/ ) and then you could use X5 to create the site and then integrate the other software via links and/or iframes.
