adatállományon

Adatállományon is the locative singular form of adatállomány, a Hungarian term used in information technology to refer to a dataset or data store. In computing, adatállomány denotes a collection of data stored for processing, which can be a single file, a table, or a broader corpus within a database or data warehouse. The concept encompasses both the physical storage and the logical grouping of records that are managed together.

The word is common in technical, statistical, and administrative contexts. It is used to describe actions performed on the data collection, such as queries, updates, migrations, or backups that operate on the adatállomány. The locative form adatállományon emphasizes the location or scope of the operation, for example: “A lekérdezés az adatállományon végzett módosításokat érinti,” or “Az adatállományon végrehajtott frissítés minden rekordot frissít.”

Relation to related terms: adatállomány is closely related to adatbázis (database) and adatkészlet (data set). While adatállomány often refers to a stored corpus of data, adatbázis is a managed collection with transactional capabilities, and adatkészlet emphasizes a defined subset of data used for analysis.

In practice, the concept underpins data management, governance, and analytics workflows. Ensuring data integrity, versioning, access control, and metadata documentation within the adatállományon or its surrounding systems is common to maintain reliable data processing.
