Datasource vs Database

BJ Freeman
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I would like our documentation of refer only to Datasources and entities
and remove references to Databases and Tables.
The only exception would be when we are talking about a Datasource that
is a Database the files that relate directly to a Database like the
fieldtype
My reason is that people like me, that come from a database centric
background, have a tendency to relate to references to databases that
takes them down the wrong path.

We need to make a strong statement that the Database is simply a
type datasource for Storing Data, nothing else.

will work on it.
probably get done quicker if I do a page at a time.
so where do I post the changes?
maybe have a wiki page for editing?

Yes, I guess a wiki page is easier if we need to share
