Pretty much any forum software these days will require a database. Databases make them a lot more efficient than flat files.

phpBB supports a lot of different database types. I use MySQL because it is free, works fine, is installed by default on web servers, and I am too lazy to bother with anything else, such as PostGreSQL.
