Generally, data or information that is entered into a computer program and organized by fields. The catalog is a database with separately-searchable fields for authors, titles, subject headings, etc. The Libraries subscribe to many databases that index journal articles and even provide full text articles. They are available in the middle of the IRIS homepage.
A database is information stored, typically in electronic format. It may contain bibliographic or numerical data, which is generally structured so that it can be searched. Many of the databases the library subscribes to can be searched 'remotely' - ie. from computers attached to the Internet anywhere in the world. See Also: Full text databases

the definition of this word has changed over the years - it used to mean a unified collection of data files but now it tends to refer to an integrated system of data plus the means of interrogating and manipulating the data - even to the extent of referring to a database language
A database is defined as "a collection of independent works, data or other materials arranged in a systematic or methodical way and individually accessible by electronic or other means". A European Directive from 1996 ( http://europa.eu.int) creates a two-sided protection for databases: protection of the structure by copyright; and protection of the content by a sui generis right (independently of the possible protection of the content if the content is original).(DE:Datenbank, ES:Bases de Datos, FR:Base de données)

A database is an efficient and flexible program that stores and retrieves information. The following is an example of what a database can do. If the information of a telephone book was stored in a database, you could search for anyone named John Smith, list people with phone numbers ending with 1234 (if you were bored), or find everyone who lives on Elm Street (like Freddy). You could also search for all Tom Jones who live on Maple Avenue in a matter of seconds. Try doing that with just a phonebook! On the Internet, the easier and faster it is for a customer to find what they want, the more likely they will buy your products or services.

A collection of information, or data, organized in a specific order and format so that the information can be retrieved, stored, and manipulated by an application.
A collection of organized, retrievable data. The most common types are the relational database and the hypertext database. A relational database stores information in 3 levels: field (any single referenceable item), record (a collection of related fields), and file (a collection of related records). The conventional phone book is an example of a relational database: individual telephone numbers names and addresses are fields, a line listing is a record, and the complete phone book is a file. Relational databases on computers simplify record retrieval; a user is able to locate a complete record by searching for any of the fields contained in it. The hypertext database is used mainly on the Internet. Hypertext links allow you to point and click on selected words on a web page to link to other locations or pages on the Internet. A hypertext database is not organized in any specific relational format.

Files in a Perforce server used to store the server metadata.
An application that stores and organizes information into tables so that it can be sorted by any of various characteristics and displayed in a variety of ways. One very powerful type of database is the relational database, which keeps information in multiple table files. This is a more efficient arrangement than keeping all information in just one table, and thus it allows the database to process and display information more quickly. Another type of database is the distributed database, which can more or less be defined as multiple databases run by different individuals and/or companies that link to one another, so that when information is updated on one database, it's updated on all of them. The DNS system is the world's largest distributed database.
A way or storing tables, queries, forms and reports that belong to a system. A database will hold the tables of data needed for the system. Databases can be relational or object based.

Pointers from the Main Inventory Table are available on the Gunston Hall website. The complete database will be available through a CD-ROM available by Summer 2000.
A database is software that assists you in keeping information. Basically, a database is an online filing cabinet. Let's say that you have a list of customers that includes their last name, state, how much they've spent with you, and their favorite color. If you had this information in a filing cabinet, what order would you put them in? By last name? By state? By favorite color? With a database, you store the information electronically, so you can change how they are sorted at any time. So, you could easily pull out customers in NY, who spent over $400 with you, and whose favorite color is blue, no matter in what order they were put into the database. That is the benefit of a database - the ease of searching and pulling out information. Some of the most popular databases are ACCESS and SQL.

A file or set of files of data, representing a collection of information, which can be used in several ways, for several purposes, and/or by several users. A simple database is the electronic equivalent of a card-index system, just storing text in an unstructured format with simple tools for its rapid retrieval. More sophisticated databases can store any type of electronic information (including sound, pictures and movies), and can store complex data inter-relationships. A database is one of the components of an Integrated Package.
Related information stored in one location in a digital format. Dependant upon the software used to manage a database, minimally, information can be added to, retrieved from and sorted. On the internet databases are used to build dynamic web sites. Some popular database software titles are mySQL, SQL, Oracle, and Access.

A collection of records stored in a computer in a systematic way, such that a computer program called a database management system (DBMS) can consult it to answer questions. DBMSs can manage many forms of data, including text, images, sound, and video. For better retrieval and sorting, each record is usually organized as a set of data elements. The items retrieved in answer to queries become information that can be used to make decisions that might otherwise be more difficult or impossible to make.
A collection of tables, or a collection of table spaces and index spaces.
A collection of information organized so that a computer application can quickly select pieces of information from it.
Any storage of biometric templates and related end user information. Even if only one biometric template or record is stored, the database will simply be a database of one. Generally speaking, however, a database will contain a number of biometric records.
A collection of related data that is stored in a manner enabling information to be retrieved as needed; in a relational database, a collection of related tables.
A set of related data tables and other database objects that are organized and presented to serve a specific purpose.
A collection of files managed by a specific piece of software and serving one or more applications with data. The major functions of database are to provide security, consistency, integrity, recovery and performance. Usually programmed by a specialized web designer.[Go Back
