Abstract
Data storage is an essential task in research data management allowing for efficient data utilization and analysis. Due to an exponential increase in data generation (primarily owing to employment of new high-throughput -omics technologies), databases became a crucial element in everyday scientific practice and an important tool to support the discovery process. This chapter introduces basic technical aspects of database systems, data models, and database development. In particular, relational databases are discussed. Moreover, biological databases and their application in research are presented.
