What is database software and why does looking for info about it keep giving me info on creating mobile apps?
I need something will help me create an inventory of rental gear with status, time for service, replacement cost, original vendor, current vendor, etc
So I think I need database software
But when I go look for it, every video explaining DB software seems to talk about using it to create mobile apps
Also wiki software and iA Writer seem to get recommendations which means I maybe don’t want database software but rather something else?
Hjalp!

Mobile apps (and non mobiles ones) use databases. Reddit keeps an “inventory” of its posts, comments, users, whatever, in databases. When people talk about the “back end” of a website or app they’re talking about its database.
I’d probably search for “inventory management software” instead of just “database” because unless you already have some sort of tool to create, update, delete records (like entering items on a spreadsheet or a web form) then you’ll want something easy to use to actually add your inventory to the database.
Or you could look up specific database software like Postgresql or Mysql (both use SQL which is a language for making database queries and updates) but if you’re just looking for something to help with inventory there are probably more solutions out there with more features than just the database itself.
