Hi

We are making dynamic project where adding and changing tags online would be nice.  
I have tested Database Driving Provider and thing it would be best practice to use, but do we then need SQL Bridge module license? If needed is it enough to have limited version of SQL Bridge.

Yes, the SQL Bridge is required for driving external tags. You can consume external tags without it, but not drive them.
