Database
En français : "base de données"
Em português : "sistema de gerenciamento de banco de dados"
A database program is a software application with a structure for entering, storing and retrieving information. Wikipedia defines it as "a structured collection of records or data that is stored in a computer so that a program can consult it to answer queries."
The types of databases vary and it is not uncommon for organisations to design specialised databases for their own use. In principle, of course, one could write a database in any language.
There exist also database software for general use, often as part of office suites. These include:
- Microsoft Access
- OpenOffice Base
