NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Database server

A database server is a computer program that provides database services to other computer programs or computers, as defined by the client-server model; the term may also refer to a computer dedicated to running such a program. Database management systems frequently provide database server functionality, and some DBMS's (e.g., MySQL) rely exclusively on the client-server model for database access.

Base One - Rich Client Architecture (1724 words)
	With the Base One Internet Server (BIS) acting as a proxy for remote database access, applications need not know where the data is coming from.
	The Base One's Database Library is a logical extension of the familiar relational database model, but with a high level of abstraction that frees programmers from concern about numerous low-level details.
	Performing database access through BIS eliminates the need for the database's client software to be installed on client workstations or application servers.
