Is a database on a server?

Is database and server same?

The main difference between a Server and a Database is that a Server provides services to other programs and connected devices, that are often known as 'clients'. On the other hand, the Database is responsible for back end data processing. It helps to store, organize, manage, and access data on a computer system.

Does a database require a server?

If you have only one application that runs in one instance for the user, embedded solution (whether sqlite or some object storage) is usually OK. However if you have multiple instances that need to manipulate the database concurrently, you need to have a server to synchronize it.
