What is a database?


  • database is a program that stores data.
  • There are many types of databases: flat-file, hierarchical, relational, object-relational, object-oriented, xml, and others. 
  • Relational databases are characterized by the SQL (structured query language) standard to query and modify the database, their client/serverarchitecture, and relational table storage structure.
  • Their client/server architecture allows the client programming language to be decoupled from the server, allowing the database server to support interface APIs into multiple different programming languages and clients.
  • The main relational databases used today are, OracleMySQL (Oracle), PostgreSQLDB2 (IBM), SQL Server (Microsoft).
