Databases

A database is a collection of related data items, which are linked and structured so that the data can be accessed in a number of ways.

Simple database programs store a single set of data. This is called a flat file database. These types of programs are suitable for holding data for home use. More complex applications, such as those found in businesses, require a more complex database program called a relational database program.
