database server
A stand-alone computer in a local area network that holds and manages the data Base. It implies that data Base management functions, such as locating the actual record being requested, is performed in the server computer. Contrast with file server, which acts as a remote disk drive and requires that large parts of the data Base, for example, entire indexes, be transmitted to the user' s computer where the real data Base management tasks are performed. First-generation personal computer data Base software was not designed for a network thus, modified versions of the software released by the vendors employed the file server concept. Second-generation products, designed for local area networks, perform the management tasks in the server where they should be done, and consequently are turning the file server into a data Base server.
