1. <database> One or more large structured sets of persistent data, usually associated with software to update and query the data. A simple database might be a single file containing many records, each of which contains the same set of fields where each field is a certain fixed width.
A database is one component of a database management system.
See also ANSI/SPARC Architecture, atomic, blob, data definition language, deductive database, distributed database, fourth generation language, functional database, object-oriented database, relational database.
Carol E. Brown's tutorial.
2. A collection of nodes managed and stored in one place and all accessible via the same server. Links outside this are "external", and those inside are "internal".
On the World-Wide Web this is called a web site.
3. All the facts and rules comprising a logic programming program.

Some of the above systems are stronger on personnel  management utilities and weaker on database technologies.  Others are stronger on database technologies and weaker on personnel management.  In all cases, installation of a system is no piece of cake.   In some cases it can take years and millions of dollars to get a system in place.   But in those instances these larger systems are the only feasible alternatives. More...

A database is a means of storing organized data. It is the way most companies store information about their employees, their products, and financial information. Databases are now also used in nearly all e-commerce sites to store product inventory, customer information, sales data, etc. Database software, such as Microsoft Access, FileMaker, and MySQL is designed to help companies and individuals organize large amounts of information in such a way where the data can be easily searched, sorted, and updated. While the first databases were relatively "flat" (limited to simple rows and columns), today's relational databases allow users to access, update, and sort data in a numerous ways. Certain databases even let users store all kinds of data, such as sound clips, pictures, and videos.

database
