Adatokbázisokban refers to databases in Hungarian. A database is an organized collection of structured information, or data, typically stored electronically in a computer system. Databases are generally controlled by a database management system (DBMS). Together, the data and the DBMS, along with the applications directly associated with the DBMS, can be referred to as a database system, often shortened to just database.

Databases can be structured in various ways. Common models include relational databases, which store data in tables with rows and columns, and NoSQL databases, which offer more flexible data models. Relational databases are widely used for their ability to enforce data integrity and perform complex queries. NoSQL databases are often chosen for their scalability and ability to handle large volumes of unstructured or semi-structured data.

The primary purpose of a database is to store, retrieve, and manage data efficiently and securely. They are essential for many applications, including websites, financial systems, scientific research, and inventory management. Data is typically organized to facilitate easy access, modification, and deletion.

Database management systems (DBMS) provide the interface for users and applications to interact with the database. They handle tasks such as data storage, retrieval, security, concurrency control, and recovery from failures. Examples of popular DBMS include MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle Database, and Microsoft SQL Server. The development and maintenance of databases are crucial aspects of information technology.
