DATABASES
A collection of data arranged for case & speed of search and retrieved
is called data bank. It is one or more structured sets of persistent
data, usually associated with software to update and query the data.
A simple database might be a single file containing many records or it
comprises tables having fields with specific data structure. The tables
are linked with each other through various common fields in these
tables. It is a logical collection of interrelated information, managed
and stored as a unit, usually on some form of mass storage system
such as magnetic tape or disc. A database is one component of a
database management system.

GIS Inputs
• GIS is a versatile tool, its main potential lies in its data analysis
capability
• Only the map data are not sufficient for analysis purposes
• Field Sampling data are also a part of GIS that makes the GIS
based study more meaningful and authentic

POINT FEATURE
A point feature is represented by a single location that defines a map
object whose boundary or shape is too small to be represented by a line
or an area. A special symbol or label often depicts a point location.
LINE FEATURE
A line feature is a set of ordered coordinates which connect to represent
the linear shape of a map object that is too narrow to be displayed as an
area. Or, it could be a feature which has no width such as a contour
line.
AREA FEATURE
An area feature is described by a closed boundary which encloses a
homogenous area, such as a lake or a park.
