 ?What is Data

 Before we get into the concept of a database, we should first understand what data is . Put
simply, data are pieces of information or facts related to the object being considered.

information, such as sales transactions, customer data, financials and product
information.

 Databases are used for storing, maintaining and accessing any sort of data. They
