Data storage is handled by persistence managers (for the nodes and
properties) and if enabled by a file-based DataStore for large
binaries. By default (IIRC) the standalone webapp's persistence
manager is configured to use the Derby embedded database for storage.
Other persistence managers are file-based, but anyway the storage
mechanism isn't visible, nor relevant, from the JCR API's point of
view.

See "persistence managers" in
http://jackrabbit.apache.org/frequently-asked-questions.html, and
(optionally) http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/DataStore

In short, the JCR API provides high-level functionality for content
management that relational databases don't. The
http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/JcrLinks page provides links to a
series of articles that might be useful.
