Line 1:
A '''database''' is an [[information]] set with a regular structure. It's front-end allows data access, searching and sorting routines. It's back-end affords data inputting and updating. A database is usually but not necessarily stored in some [[machine-readable]] format accessed by a computer. There are a wide variety of databases, from simple tables stored in a single file to very large databases with many millions of records, stored in rooms full of disk drives.
Databases resembling modern versions were first developed in the 1960s. A pioneer in the field was [[Charles Bachman]].
