Source is Illustra . Database is sites that do not use stright HTML, wether its dynamic pages or inputing orders in to a 'database ' of some type (other than a flat file)

I would infir(sp) that "database" does not include "any collection of data" but rather a commercially available DBMS. (Informix, oracle, sybase, visegenics, and the other OODBMS)

I don't know what an "SQL dastabase" is, but the figure does include both Relational and Object databases.

Please explain the following
: unlikely considering the history of data sources on the web.
