Database

A database is an organized collection of information stored digitally, allowing users to easily access, manage, and update data. Think of it as a digital filing cabinet where different types of data—such as customer details, sales records, or inventory lists—are stored in a structured way for quick retrieval and analysis. Databases use specialized software called a database management system (DBMS) to keep data organized, secure, and accessible, enabling businesses and individuals to efficiently handle large amounts of information for various applications.
