Dictionary
Definition: database server
A computer in a network that is dedicated to database storage and retrieval. It holds the database management system (see DBMS) and the databases. Upon requests from the client machines, it searches the database for selected records and passes back the results.
A database server may be part of a file server that also houses applications and non-database files; however, the term generally implies a server that provides only database functions. See database.
