Well....a database is basically a collection of data...it may be any simple text file or something else....
when this data is stored in tables...we have what is known as a relational database.....
and when someone refers to the integrity of data in the database ...it just referes to the correctness of the data

1. A database contains tables within it. As such a database is a larger entity. Tables contain rows (records) and columns (fields).
2. I'm not sure I understand this question.

almost agry with (jigvesh b).
In case you have a relational database all data is stored in tables, and between tables exist relations, some data could refer to another in another table by key value (that is relation)... if you have no entity, integrity some data may reffer to another that doesn't exist anymore...
