An array is an arrangement of numbers, pictures or objects formatted into rows and columns according to their type.
In coding and programming, an array is a collection of items, or data, stored in contiguous memory locations, also known as database systems .
An array database management system or array DBMS provides database services specifically for arrays (also called raster data), that is: homogeneous collections of data items (often called pixels, voxels, etc.), sitting on a regular grid of one, two, or more dimensions.
Array Databases are a class of databases that store, manage, and analyze data whose natural structures are arrays.
Currently, there are a few systems, including SciDB, RasDaMan, MonetDB, and Google Earth Engine that are array databases (Baumann et al., 2018).3 juil. 2019
