Database, What is it?


A database is a structure that generally put in two categories: A flat and relational database. Relational database more like because more sense than flat database. So, mySQL is a relational database.

In database which has rational structure. There are tables that deposited data. Every table consists from column and row. A column definite what kind of information will deposited. you need special column for every kind of information you will deposited (example age, high, weight, address)

If column definition what kind of information will deposited, a row is actual data deposited. Every row from column is input from that table and containing value for every column of that table. (Example input is bambang: age 40, 65 kg, and 160 cm).

If this database explanation confusing you, don’t give it up, we will explain and show few table example in the next tutorial.
