A database is an organized collection of data.

The data is typically organized to

model aspects of reality in a way that supports processes requiring information. For
example, modelling the availability of rooms in hotels in a way that supports finding
a hotel with vacancies.
Types of database
1.0Relational Database
2.0Operational Databases
3.0Database WarehousesIn information technology, the term end user is used to
distinguish the person for whom a hardware or software product is designed
from the developers, installers, and servicers of the product. The "end" part of
the term probably derives from the fact that most information technologies
involve a chain of interconnected product components at the end of which is the
"user." Frequently, complex products require the involvement of other-than-end
users such as installers, administrators, and system operators. The term end
user thus distinguishes the user for which the product is designed from other
users who are making the product possible for the end user. Often, the term user
would suffice.
4.0Distributed Database
5.0 End-User Databases
Relational database - A relational database is a digital database whose organization
is based on the relational model of data, as proposed by E.F. Codd in 1970. This
model organizes data into one or more tables (or "relations") of rows and columns,
with a unique key for each row Operational datadase - Operational database management systems (also referred to
as OLTP On Line Transaction Processing databases), are used to manage dynamic
data in real-time. These types of databases allow you to do more than simply view
archived data.
Database warehouses - A data warehouse is a subject-oriented, integrated, timevariant and non-volatile collection of data in support of management's decision
making process. Subject-Oriented: A data warehouse can be used to analyze a
particular subject area.
Distributed database - A distributed database is a database in which storage
devices are not all attached to a common processing unit such as the CPU,
controlled by a distributed database management system (together sometimes
called a distributed database system).
End user database - In information technology, the term end user is used to
distinguish the person for whom a hardware or software product is designed from
the developers, installers, and servicers of the product. The "end" part of the term
probably derives from the fact that most information technologies involve a chain of

interconnected product components at the end of which is the "user." Frequently,

complex products require the involvement of other-than-end users such as
installers, administrators, and system operators. The term end user thus
distinguishes the user for which the product is designed from other users who are
making the product possible for the end user. Often, the term user would suffice.
