What is a database
A database is a secure data storage that contains tables with all kinds of information and data.
This data and information can be used for analytics, extracted and served as content on a web page, and management.
Does your business need a database?
To determine if your business needs a database, we need to understand what a database is useful for, and those are:
Quick, efficient, and automated access to information.Database is a secure storage located outside of the public domain that is only available for select people.
Makes it easy to manage, and select specific data as needed, making it good for analytical work.
Some types of businesses that generally benefit from database are: e-commerce websites, websites with user-generated content, blogging platforms, enterprises, etc.
Where is data stored?
Unlike a website which is located in a publicly accessible location, data is stored within a database that the public cannot access without the proper authentication. For a MySql database on a Linux machine, this is usually at /var/lib/mysql.
