`
`Database: A collection of organized,

`
`Database: A collection of related
`information about a subject
`organized in a useful manner that
`provides a base or foundation for
`procedures, such as retrieving
`information, drawing conclusions,
`and making decisions. Any
`collection of information that servers
`these purposes qualifies as a
`database, even if the information
`isn’t stored on a computer. In fact,
`important predecessors of today’s
`sophisticated business database
`systems were files kept on index
`cards and stored in file cabinets.
`Information usually is divided into
`data records, each with one or more
`data fields.7

`largest amount of data that can be
`handled by the microprocessor in one
`operation and is also, as a rule, the

`
`Interrupt: A signal to the
`microprocessor indicating that an
`event has occurred that requires its
`attention. Processing is halted
`momentarily so that input/output or
`other operations can take place.
`When the operation is finished,
`processing resumes.15
`
`Interrupt: A signal from a device to
`a computer’s processor requesting
`attention from the processor. When
`the processor receives an interrupt, it
`suspends its current operations, saves
`the status of its work, and transfers
`control to a special routine known as
`an interrupt handler, which contains
`the instructions for dealing with the
`particular situation that caused the
`interrupt. Interrupts can be generated
`by various hardware devices to
`request service or report problems, or
`by the processor itself in response to
`program errors or requests for
`operating-system services. Interrupts
