Database:
A collection of
related information stored in a structured format. Database is often used
interchangeably with the term table
(Lotus Approach, for instance, uses the term database instead of table).
Technically, they're different: A table is a single store of related
information; a database can consist of one or more tables of information that
are related in some way. For instance, you could track all the information
about the students in a school in a students table. If you then created
separate tables containing details about teachers, classes and classrooms, you
could combine all four tables into a timetabling database. Such a multi-table
database is called a relational database..
