What Is a Database? |
|
|
A database is a structured arrangement of data elements designed for the easy selection of information. Unlike a collection of flat files, a database contains both data and structural information used in extracting data from the files in which data resides. In ALLBASE/SQL, databases are located inside a DBEnvironment, a structure that is fully defined later in this chapter. |
