1. Database

   A database is an organized collection of data. The data is typically organized to model relevant aspects of reality, in a way that supports processes requiring this information. Database management systems 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 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.

Examples of database in a Sentence

1. Charlie Winter:

   What this database points to is the fact that use of children is far more normalized, they are not just being used to shock people in execution videos. They are being used for their operational value as well. This is something that sadly we have to expect to increase and accelerate as the situation becomes more precarious for ISIS in the years to come.

2. Tim Scott:

   There's no actual database on no-knocks. We don't know when it's used, to whom it's used against. We don't know the race, the sex, the age, we know nothing about no-knocks, except for the Breonna Taylor situation that was tragic without question.

But the law doesn’t require this.
