    A database is a collection of organized data that allows for rapid search and retrieval of information by a computer. It structures data to store, retrieve, modify, and delete information to support various data processing operations. There are two types of databases: manual databases that are not computerized and stored without software, like address books or recipe collections; and automated databases that use computer software and allow for easy data access, modification, and analysis. While manual databases have advantages like being less vulnerable to accidental deletion and not requiring power, automated databases generally provide more powerful data management capabilities.
