Database Basics

What is a Database?

Databases are organised collections of data

A database is like a super-powered spreadsheet that can store, organise, and retrieve huge amounts of information quickly.

Relational databases store data in tables — similar to Excel sheets — but they can link tables together, which makes them very powerful.

Examples you probably use every day: Instagram stores your photos and likes in a database. Spotify keeps track of songs and playlists. Your school stores your grades!
