database server
A stand-alone computer in a local area network that holds and manages the database. It i mplies that database 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 database, for exa mple, entire indexes, be transmitted to the user' s computer where the real database management tasks are performed. First-generation personal computer database software was not designed for a network thus, modified versions of the software released by the vendors e mployed 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 database server.
