A computer database is a structured collection of records or data that is stored in a computer system. A database relies upon software to organize the storage of the data and to enable a person or program to extract desired information[1]. The term "database" refers to the collection of related records, and the software should be referred to as the database management system (DBMS); this is sometimes shortened to database manager or database system. Referring to the software as a database (as in "the OpenOffice database") is incorrect but not uncommon.
