Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electronic file that Summit Gifts, Inc. keeps on its regular customers, which includes various types of information, is an example of a database. A database is a collection of related data that is organized in a way that facilitates efficient retrieval of specific information. It allows businesses to easily access, manage, and update large amounts of data on their customers, products, or any other relevant information. A spreadsheet is a tool used for organizing and analyzing data, but it's not specifically designed for storing and retrieving data like a database. MP3 files are used for storing and playing music, and PERT files are used for project management.
