What
a data base?
A data base (its abbreviation is data base,
in English dB, database) is an entity in
which it is possible to store data in a
structured way and with less possible redundancy.
These data must be able to be used by programs,
by different users. Thus, the basic concept
of data is generally coupled with that of
network, in order to be able to share this
information, from where the basic name.
One generally speaks about information system
to indicate all the structure gathering
the means set up to be able to share data.
Utility
of a data base?
A data base makes it possible to place data
at the disposal of users for a consultation,
a seizure or an update, while being ensured
of the rights granted to the latter. That
is all the more useful as the data-processing
data are increasingly numerous.
A data
base can be local, i.e. usable on a machine
by a user, or distributed, i.e. information
is stored on machines distant and accessible
by network.
The major
advantage of the use of data bases is the
possibility simultaneously of being able
to be reached by several users.
