What is a database?

A database is a collection of related data, organised for convenient access. It is organised in a way that it is easier to find and select a desired piece of data. It is somewhat of an electronic filing system.

In order to access a database, a Database Management System (DBMS) is required. This enables you to select, organise and edit/enter data in the database.
