Since there are a number of types of databases, there is no single answer
to this question. This post provides links to some specific definitions
and discussions of the meanings of this word and links to search results
from several databases to sources that discuss databases and definition in

"A large, regularly updated file of digitized information (bibliographic
records, abstracts, full-text documents, directory entries, images,
statistics, etc.) related to a specific subject or field, consisting of
records of uniform format organized for ease and speed of search and
retrieval and managed with the aid of database management system (DBMS)
software. Content is created by the database producer (for example, the
American Psychological Association), which usually publishes a print
version (Psychological Abstracts) and leases the content to one or more
database vendors (EBSCO, OCLC, etc.) that provide electronic access to the
data after it has been converted to machine-readable form (PsycINFO" Read

A database is an organized collection of data. The data is typically
organized to model relevant aspects of reality (for example, the
availability of rooms in hotels), in a way that supports processes
requiring this information (for example, finding a hotel with vacancies).
Database management systems (DBMSs) are specially designed applications
that interact with the user, other applications, and the database itself
to capture and analyze data. A general-purpose database management system
(DBMS) is a software system designed to allow the definition, creation,
querying, update, and administration of databases. Well-known DBMSs
include MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access,
Oracle, SAP, dBASE, FoxPro, IBM DB2 and FilemakerPro. A database is not
generally portable across different DBMS, but different DBMSs can
inter-operate by using standards such as SQL and ODBC or JDBC to allow a
single application to work with more than one database.

"A database is a set of data that has a regular structure and that is
organized in such a way that a computer can easily find the desired

for use in analysis or making decisions."
