Databases is the field of computing concerned with organizing collections of data so they can be stored, queried, updated and kept consistent at scale. Its modern shape emerged in the mid 1960s, when direct access storage made organized shared data stores practical, and it was transformed in 1970 when Edgar F. Codd proposed the relational model, the theoretical basis of the relational database systems that now carry most of the world's structured data.

Facts
Origin YearMid 1960s, stated as the era when the term database arrived with direct access storage; 1965 stands for that mid decade point rather than a single founding event. Core ConcernHow collections of data are structured, stored, queried and kept correct while many programs and people use them at once. 1 Databases

an organized collection of data or a type of data store based on the use of a database management system (DBMS)
Database management system
Connolly and Begg define database management system (DBMS) as a "software system that enables users to define, create, maintain and control access to the database." Examples of DBMS include MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Database, and Microsoft Access.
History section
The introduction of the term database coincided with the availability of direct-access storage (disks and drums) from the mid-1960s onwards.
Introduction
In computing, a database is an organized collection of data or a type of data store based on the use of a database management system (DBMS).
