Website Database Integration allows you to make your company data available online.
"When a web site uses a database back-end to store information, database integration refers to how a web interface can access that information." Quoted from the google.com website

So what is database integration anyway? Well, it is the process of making your company data available on the internet. You can make that information available to the public, to certain customers, or just to employees to access from outside the office (maybe when traveling). There are usually many concerns with database integration and making your data available on the internet. Will your information be secure? Will you be able to control who can access sensitive data? Will you have to update the data manually? What are the advantages and disadvantages of making your company data available online? Can you use the internet to share data securely between remote offices? I'm sure there are a lot more questions that you may have if you are interested in making your data available online. We have the answers you are looking for.

While database integration may seem like it just covers making your data available online, there is a whole other side to database integration. You can also use the web to update or enter data into your company database.
