Overview
Database software is used to store, manage, search,
and sort large amounts of information. One form of a database
is an electronic address book that would allow you to easily find
someone's address by searching for everyone in a database with a
particular last name. Databases range from the most basic,
like the address book example, to the very advanced, such as a database
for storing customer information, orders, etc. for a store or company.
