A database is a structured collection of data organized for efficient storage, retrieval, and management. It comprises tables, each with rows and columns, representing different entities and their attributes.
Database management systems (DBMS) facilitate data handling, enabling users to add, modify, and query information.
Relational databases, like MySQL and Oracle, are common, using SQL for manipulation. Non-relational databases, like MongoDB, store data in various formats.
Databases are fundamental in computing, supporting applications ranging from websites to business systems, ensuring organized and accessible data for diverse purposes.
