With a database you can store, organize and retrieve a large collection of related information on computer.
- Information is entered on a database via fields. Each field holds a separate piece of information, and the fields are collected together into records. Records are grouped into files, which hold large amounts of information. Files can easily be updated: you can always change fields, add new records or delete old ones.
- Another feature of database programs is that you can automatically look up and find records containing particular information. You can also search on more than one field at a time.
A computer database is much faster to consult and update than a card index system. It occupies a lot less space, and records can be automatically sorted into numerical or alphabetical order using any field.
Thanks to security devices, you can share part of your files on a network and control who sees the information. Most aspects of the program can be protected by user-defined passwords.
