data retrieval

Pulling stored records

Data retrieval is the process of locating and extracting stored information from a database, file system, or other repository.

The term emphasizes finding specific data among larger collections: The search engine handles millions of data retrieval requests per second.

In computing, efficient data retrieval depends on how information is indexed and organized.
