Database Activities: The Yellow Pages

What is a database ?
A database is a structured collection of data stored on a computer and/or server allowing you to organize data records which can be sorted, searched and reconfigured in your preferences.

Examples of databases.There are several well known databases, surrounding us such as; google. phonebooks, dictionaries, thesaurus' and many more. In simple words, a database helps you store important information, and helps you organize it to your preferences. Any type of product and or computing technology used in order for this to happen can be seen as a database.
