What is a database?

Database is a way of organising information and storing it in computer. Information can range from a simple address book to the details of day to day dealings of a big corporation.

Information in databases is usually organised in terms of tables containing records. In the case of a simple address book, a record, which is a row in a table, would contain the information of a particular contact. The columns in the table would contain data for each sub-information within a contact, like Name, Address, City, State etc., for a particular contact.

  1. I havent seen such an amazing explanation ever before explaining database with a basic example. This is really good and encouraging for a starter like me. Keep going. I would still like to learn more on database concepts in depth. Looking forward for further posts.
