What is Database

What is a Database?

A database is used to store data.

You can think of it like a hub or a virtual location in your system where data is kept in an organized way.

Databases help you save, manage, and find data easily, even if you have a lot of it.

They are great tools for handling big or complex data in a very simple and clear way.

Databases are the Brains Behind the Internet:

Every time you:

• ✓ Like a post
• ✓ Search on Google
• ✓ Order food delivery
• ✓ Book a flight

...a database is working behind the scenes

We use databases because in our digital world, we need someone who:

1. Remember everything
2. Find things instantly
3. Keep it all organized
4. Make it useful

But What’s the End Goal?

The end goal of using a database is this:

To fetch (get) the data easily whenever we need it.

Whether it's 10 users or 10 million, the database lets us:

• Quickly search for what we need
• Easily update information
• Delete old or wrong data
• And organize everything neatly
