Who on earth added that nonsense right at the start that all databases consist of rows and columns? I expect this was some ignorant school child inserting what they were told by an equally ignorant school teacher. This article seems to be a constant struggle against people who have never read a book or scholarly article about databases, but think they know it all. Sigh. Mhkay (talk) 13:13, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
"The data are" in the second sentence is incorrect.[edit]
It should be "The data is", not "are". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.139.19.174 (talk) 21:03, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
"Data" is the plural form of "datum". It's also often used as a collective noun like "people". In common usage "data" is often used as a singular noun but technically "data are" is correct, so I'd recommend leaving it as is. Jojalozzo 22:31, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
Information Principle redirects here, but is not mentioned[edit]
Either discuss it in the article or remove the redirect, so perhaps an actual page about it could be made? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.227.46.192 (talk) 13:24, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
