A database is an organized collection of data. A relational database, more restrictively, is a collection of schemas, tables, queries, reports, views, and other elements.
Database are used to solve few problems. Now question in your mind is that what kind of problems? Consider a scenario where you have some data like a data related to customer, employee, banking etc. and you have to save the data in any type of formats like text, images, numbers, dates, amounts, documents, audio or video etc. You can store the data in text or excel spreadsheet. You can also use the folder structure to organize your file. So why do you need the database? Many of the small businesses continue to using Text files or Excel spreadsheets since long time. This setup might works good for few small businesses, because just having data to store does not require database. So only having data is not a problem here
