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!

A database is just a way to store data so it can be processed and compared to other data.
Most modern mobile apps and web pages use databases to store their user’s and company information.
For example, Amazon would store the description and prices of items they sell in a database.
When the use opens the Amazon app and reviews an item, the mobile app would upload the review to the database.
When another user on Amazon looks at the item, the server will combine the price, description, and review from the database and send it to the Amazon App running on the mobile device, and the other user will be able to see all the info.
You can use a database for your problen but it’s too complex to explain how on an eli5. Maybe try asking in a programming subreddit instead?
