Introduction to Database module
I propose somethink like this (I am not a native english speacker):
Unchange: The Database module activity allows the teacher and/or students to build, display and search a bank of record entries about any conceivable topic. The format and structure of these entries can be almost unlimited, including images, files, URLs, numbers and text amongst other things.
Remove: You may be familiar with similar technology from building Microsoft Access or Filemaker databases.
Remove: Note: Please don't confuse this activity type with Moodle's underlying SQL database, which stores all of the information used in Moodle courses and is only of interest to Moodle Administrators.
This module will create one table for instance, but you may create as many instances you need. The records can be linked to other tables and all resources in the course, if you allowing autolink in a name field.
These tables are "virtual", they are not created in the SQL database, they are just stored there (in tables mdl_data*).
I think this clarify the missleading name "database".
