Hmm, methinks a database is a place where one keeps data in an orderly manner.

The data is there to be used. You would use it using SQL, either directly or through a programming language like Java, Perl, PHP, or whatever.

How you PRESENT the data ought to be immaterial.

Now, if you use a product like Oracle Portal some of the data representing the portal will be stored using metadata. Luckily, you won't have to deal with that because Oracle does it for you.

Just my 2 cents.

Cheers,
