database server
Query processing machine
A database server is a computer or software system that stores, manages, and provides access to databases for other programs or users over a network.
It handles requests to retrieve, update, or manipulate data: The database server crashed during peak hours.
In practice, the term often refers to the software itself—MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle—rather than the physical machine.
