			==Views==

			===View list===

			The list view shows multiple entries, possibly in a more abbreviated form to ensure all the information fits. You may use the controls at the bottom of the screen to search and sort the contents.

			* ''View single'': one item at a time
			* ''View list'' (red arrow): several items at a time (number is user defined)
			* ''Add entry'' (green arrows): add an item to the database

			The icons highlighted in yellow are for editing, viewing and deleting an item in the database.

			=== View single ===

			Alternatively, you may view only one entry at a time. This might allow you to view more detailed information than the list view.

			=== Add comment ===

			If comments have been enabled, you may add a comment.

			=== Rate entries ===

			If ratings have been enabled, and made viewable, by the database editor, you may [[Grades\|grade]] other database entries, and view these ratings.

			If the [[Database auto-linking filter]] is enabled, any entries in a database will be automatically linked to where the concept words and/or phrases appear within the same course. This includes forum postings, internal resources, week summaries etc.

			Note: If you do not want particular text to be linked (in a forum posting, say) then you should add <nolink> and </nolink> tags around the text. Alternatively the filter can be disabled for a particular activity.

			== Example databases ==

			Moodle.org has three good examples of the database module in action:

			* [http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?id=6140 Moodle Buzz], a database of the titles, authors and web links to news articles mentioning Moodle
			* [http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=26 Themes], a database with screenshots, download links and user comments about Moodle [[Themes\|themes]]
			* [http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13 Modules and plugins], a database containing a variety of web links (download, documentation, discussion) and info (maintainer, module type, requirements) about the modular components of Moodle, including those created by third parties.

			== Creative uses ==

			You could use the database module to:

			* allow collaboration on building a collection of web links/books/journal references related to a particular subject
			* display student created photos/posters/websites/poems for peer comment and review
			* gather comments and votes on a shortlist of potential logos/mascot names/project ideas
			* provide a [http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=52699 student file storage area]
			* maintain a log of what was done in a face-to-face class each day, so that absent students can get caught up themselves. [http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=115047 Example]
