database

Definition: The place where software and web services store huge amounts of data. Think of it as a giant Excel file, storing more private information than you ever thought you'd share. Of course, it is kept secure, but from time to time a shameless hacker or a zealous AOL employee will leak it to the world. Most popular database systems on the web are MySQL, PostGreSQL.
Usage: During lunch break, Mary queried the database to see if anyone in her neighborhood had ordered compression sockings.
