A database is an organized collection of data for one or more purposes, usually in digital form. The data are typically organized to model relevant aspects of reality (for example, the availability of rooms in hotels), in a way that supports processes requiring this information.
A database administrator (short form DBA) is a person responsible for the design, implementation, maintenance and repair of an organization's database.
