    A database is an organized collection of data that is managed using database management software. The software provides tools to add, modify, delete, query, and generate reports from the stored data. A relational database introduced the concept of storing data in tables and generating new tables by performing operations across other tables while ensuring data integrity. Key aspects of a relational database include tables of data with columns and rows, and the ability to relate information across multiple tables.

A collection of persistent data used by an enterprise. (Date, C.)

    Offers controls to modify data in shared environments. Data is independent of programs and users. Data elements are interrelated and stored together. Relational Databases? Introduced by Ted Codd of IBM Research in 1970. Data perceived by users as tables. Retrieval operations generate new tables from other tables. Concerned with data structure, integrity, and manipulation.

    Relational definitions A relation is a named, two-dimensional table of data Every relation has a unique name, and consists of a set of named columns and an arbitrary number of unnamed rows An attribute is a named column of a relation, and every attribute value is atomic. Every row is unique, and corresponds to a record that contains data attributes for a single entity. The order of the columns is irrelevant. The order of the rows is irrelevant.
