There are several types of databases- such as "relational" (Oracle for example). Multi-user database is a database that contains (normally) several "tables" where each table has rows and columns, and where these rows and columns intersect is a "data element". Multi user databases support several concurrent users (simultaneous) for reading or writing data to the tables in the database. For example, a list of addresses, phone numbers and names for a city could be a table. With other tables having other demographic data. Several users could "search" for a variety of combinations of this data, while another group of users could be adding more "records" (data elements).
