so I'm guessing they are just merging those two things into database application, instead of database backed application.

But it seems like they'd just mention that they have an application and that they have a database (system). Know what I mean? Making up a new term that doesn't reflect anything they've experienced isn't a natural result regardless of how little knowledge or experience someone has.

Why would a normal person have any exposure to the DB itself - why would they know they have it? If we stretch that a bit for SW users, OK so they've been exposed in one way or another that there is a DB, but knowing that's it's not part of the application itself, like it is in SW, is not something most IT Buyers would know.

Because they work in IT and this is like end user level knowledge?

Even someone buying IT should know what a database is. This is pretty basic stuff. The differences between types, when to choose one and that sort of thing, that's edging into IT knowledge. But that a database stores your data and things talk to it to get data in and out is definitely not IT knowledge alone.

In something like SW, everyone would know that it doesn't talk to an RDBMS that has used it because when you install it, you don't install the database application for it to talk to.

Figuring out how to rebuild our current Postfix server in order to write a disaster recovery document on what to do if the server had to be rebuilt.

Went down the hill for groceries. Stopped into the Ubiquiti shop. They have APs but no routers. I need to ask them if they can order one for me. Got some gelato on the walk home.

Since you were in the store why did you not ask if they can order why do you still need to ask?

@JaredBusch I don't think I've ever seen a road that straight... even the highways around here are just long curves.

That's more like it.

@JaredBusch I can and have done that. I'm going through the config and trying to learn what everything does and why.

I tagged it for you. It comes up identically tags vs. searches. It's fourth in both.
