Extraction: When you take information from one computer or place and put it onto another computer or place. It's like copying something from a book and putting it onto a piece of paper. The original information stays where it was, but you have a copy of it somewhere else.
Definition: Extraction refers to the transfer of data from a database on one computer or server to another computer or medium. This process involves copying the contents of the database, rather than removing them.
Example: When you download a song from a music streaming service, you are extracting the data from their database and transferring it to your device. The song remains on the streaming service's database, but a copy of it is now on your device.
Explanation: This example illustrates how extraction works. The data (in this case, a song) is copied from the streaming service's database to your device, but it remains on the original database as well. This allows multiple users to access the same data simultaneously.
