database server
A stand-alone computer in a local area netw ORk that holds and manages the database. It implies that database management functions, such as locating the actual rec ORd being requested, is perf ORmed in the server computer. Contrast with file server, which acts as a remote disk drive and requires that large parts of the database, f OR example, entire indexes, be transmitted to the user' s computer where the real database management tasks are perf ORmed. First-generation personal computer database software was not designed f OR a netw ORk thus, modified versions of the software released by the vend ORs employed the file server concept. Second-generation products, designed f OR local area netw ORks, perf ORm the management tasks in the server where they should be done, and consequently are turning the file server into a database server.
