Database?
• A database contains information about a particular
enterprise or a particular application.
• E.g., a database for an enterprise may contain everything
needed for the planning and operation of the enterprise:
customer information, employee information, product
information, sales and expenses, etc.
• You don’t have to be a company to use a database: you can
store your personal information, expenses, phone numbers
in a database (e.g., using Access on a PC).
• As a matter of fact, you could store all data pertinent to a
particular purpose in a database.
• This usually means that a database stores data that are
related to each other.
