Online database

An online database is a database accessible from a network, including from the Internet.

It differs from a local database, held in an individual computer or its attached storage, such as a CD.

• For the system or software designed to manage a database, see Database management systems (DBMS)
• For information on the structure of a database itself, see Database
• For information on the programs for searching a database, see Search engines

Currently, there are several database products designed specifically as hosted databases delivered as Software as a Service products. These differ from typical traditional databases such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, etc. Some of the differences are:

• These online databases are delivered primarily via a web browser
• They are often purchased by a monthly subscription
• They embed common collaboration features such as sharing, email notifications, etc.

• For information on the contents of specific types of database, see
  • Bibliographic databases
