andmebaasiserveri

Andmebaasiserveri is a computer system or software application that stores, manages, and provides access to organized collections of structured data. Also known as a database management system, it facilitates the creation, modification, and interrogation of stored data. The term is derived from Estonian, with "andmebaas" meaning "database" and "serveri" meaning "server".

A database server can manage multiple databases at the same time and can run multiple applications and databases at the same time. They provide facilities for storing and retrieving the data, supporting a structured query language, which allows users to interact with the server by writing SQL commands and queries. The server manages the data by storing it in the database and responding to queries. It can use a variety of database models, including relational, NoSQL, and multidimensional models to organize the data.

Database servers can be categorized based on various factors such as architecture, data structure, and database management system used. They can be classified as central databases, which are accessible through a network, and local databases, which are accessible only on the device they are installed on. Database servers are widely used in various industries, such as finance, healthcare, and government, and are also used in web and mobile applications to provide data storage and retrieval capabilities.

The database server is responsible for several key tasks, including data storage, query execution, and concurrency control. It stores data in a structured and organized format, allowing for efficient querying and retrieval. The server also manages user access to the database, enforcing security measures and restrict access to authorized users and roles. Overall, the role of a database server is critical in managing and provision data to applications, and is a fundamental component of modern computing systems.
