I encounter databases everyday through search engines and libraries. Spreadsheets usually need mathematical formulas and equations in order to file the information. A database doesn't always need equations and formulas to work because sometimes it has nothing to do with math. Sometimes, it organizes books, food, or house cleaning supplies instead of numbers and dollar signs. But a spreadsheets usually deals with digits and is ideally found in Microsoft Excel.
