What is a Database?
A database is a structured collection of organized data that can be stored and managed in a
computer system. The database is designed to efficiently store, retrieve, update, and manage large
volumes of information in and out of the database.
Databases provide a systematic way to store data in a structured format, so that enables easy
access, manipulation, and analysis of data.
In a database, data is organized into tables, which consist of rows and columns. Each row in a table
represents a record or an entity, while columns represent attributes or properties of that entity.
Databases are commonly used in various applications and industries to store and manage
information, ranging from simple lists to complex structured data.
