Amarok uses postgres (or better: a postgres managed database) to store meta |
| 11 |
information of your music (like album data, track titles, when played |
| 12 |
last, ...). |

It is a full featured Relational DataBase Management System (RDBMS), similar |
| 19 |
to Oracle. This means that it allows you to create databases to store any |

kind of information and later query those databases to get these |
| 21 |
informations back. |
