Re: What is a "database"?

[Danny.Jahr@xxxxxxxxxx]

Are you saying da - ta base or day - ta base?

Other platforms need administrators to service the software that runs the
database(day-ta).

AS/400 database administrators do everything but.

It is becoming clear to me that I don't know what a database is.  I'd
thought it was the base of data that an organization accumulates, but now
I hear people speak of being a database administrator and there seems to
be clumps of these people around non-AS/400 machines.  What is it they do?
