Managing Databases Introduction

A database is a structured collection of data, typically organized in tables. While superficially resembling spreadsheets, databases offer significantly greater power, flexibility, and complexity. Key advantages and capabilities include:

• The ability to handle multiple users.
• Linking multiple datasets together.
• Handling large datasets.
• Querying datasets easily.
• Ability to visualize the dataset in multiple methods.

In Insites, rows that make up the database table are called 'database items.' Subsequently, columns are called 'fields.' Visit the links below for a guide on using databases on the Insites Database Manager:
