What is a database?
A database is an organized collection of information.
Some daily examples of how a database works are:
- An airline reservation system
- A filing cabinet with lots of files
- File storage in your computer hard drive
A database system may be as complicated as vehicle licensing
center tracking system used to manage new vehicles registrations
and updates every minute, or it can be as simple as a
collection of electronic business cards on your personal
laptop.
