MySQL notes —> MySQL
A database is an organized collection of structured information, or data, typically stored electronically in a computer system.
A database is usually controlled by a database management system (DBMS). Database Management Systems (DBMS) are software systems used to store, retrieve, and run queries on data.
Hard disks are formatted in a well-defined order to store data efficiently. A hard disk plate has many concentric circles on it, called tracks. Every track is further divided into sectors. A sector on a hard disk typically stores 512 bytes of data.
