The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to databases:
Database – organized collection of data, today typically in digital form. The data are 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).
What type of things are databases?
Databases can be described as all of the following:
