he term or expression database originated within the computer industry. Although its meaning has been broadened by popular use, even to include non-electronic databases, this article takes a more technical perspective towards the topic. Database like records have been in existence since well before the industrial revolution in the form of ledgers, sales receipts and other business related collections of data. A possible definition is that a database is a structured collection of records or data which is stored in a computer so that a program can consult it to answer queries. The records retrieved in answer to queries become information that can be used to make decisions. The computer program used to manage and query a database is known as a database management system (DBMS). The properties and design of database systems are included in the study of information science.

A database is a structured collection of data.
The data stored in a database is managed by a Data Base Management System (DBMS).
The DBMS is responsible for adding, modifying, and deleting data from the database. The DBMS is also responsible for providing access to the data for viewing and reporting.
Hope this helps^_^
