What are Database Applications

In simple terms, a database is a collection information (data). An example may be stock (item name, description, size, weight, value, etc). Businesses commonly compile databases to help store and retrieve information easily.

Websites can be linked to databases, and such sites are usually described as being database driven.

Database Driven Websites

There are tremendous advantages to database driven websites. They are intelligent in that that can provide instant, accurate data without the need to amend the actual website. Using the example of stock again, a website driven by a database will automatically search that database every time certain information is required, such a the price of an item. This means that prices can be adjusted instantly 24/7 by updating the database - not the website. Thus the website maintains accurate, current data, enabling you to trade equitably.
