They are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 <strong>Full Text Database<\/strong> &#8211; the simplest form of a database, it is used for organizing<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Relational_database_management_system\">relational database management systems (RDBMS). <\/a> data into rows and columns. A collection of documents is an example of a text database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 <strong>Desktop Database <\/strong>&#8211; intended for a single user, this database can store large amounts of data. MS Excel is an example of a desktop database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 <strong> Relational Database <\/strong> &#8211; the most common type of database, relational databases allow multiple users to access data with heightened security. SQL server, Oracle database are a couple of examples of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Relational_database_management_system\">relational database management systems (RDBMS). <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 <strong> NoSQL Database <\/strong> &#8211; one of the most novel databases, NoSQL allows users to access data from bookshelves unlike RDBMS, thereby storing data in large quantities. \u2022 <strong> Object-Oriented Database <\/strong> &#8211; an innovative database, the object-oriented type is similar to the NoSQL database in terms of data arrangement to simplify data storage and access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpressmediaoffload.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/srisys.com\/2019\/03\/root-panel.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"389\" height=\"340\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on the usage and functionality, some of the most popular databases are: \u2022 Centralized Database \u2022 Personal Database \u2022 Commercial Database \u2022 Distributed Database The full list of databases and the respective functions they serve can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tutorialspoint.com\/Types-of-databases\">found here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Database Hosting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When working with large amounts of data it is imperative to opt for a cloud hosting platform which can be managed from multiple locations without having to compromise on data security, back up or recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The right database hosting service allows users to access critical data 24*7 on a dedicated hosting platform. There are quite a few database hosting providers currently in the global market of which Amazon&#8217;s <a
