Database

Databases

An organized collection of structured data.

A database stores and organizes data so it can be efficiently queried, updated, and managed. Relational databases (e.g. MySQL, PostgreSQL) use tables and SQL; NoSQL databases (e.g. MongoDB, Redis) use documents, key-value, or other models suited to specific workloads.
