An organized collection of data stored so that it can be easily searched, managed, and updated, usually by computer.
Formed in the mid-20th century from 'data' and 'base', meaning a foundation or storage place. It grew with the rise of computers and digital record-keeping.
A database is like a supercharged filing cabinet that never gets tired of searching. Behind almost every app you use—social media, banking, games—there’s a database quietly tracking details.
