First, we don't provide homework help like this and How on earth is this a Hardware question?
I have a feeling this will dissappear once Mike logs on next time, Vlad's feelin lazy......

That would be Fuzzy Logic, in AI the database is usually the "memory" of the AI construct. At least in the ones I've delt with anyway. I almost deleted it, but I was going to let Mike or Erik deal with it since we seem divided.

Mebbe I'm thinking too vintagely (is that a word?). Some of the old-skool 'Expert Systems' (early attempts at AI) would consult a separate database, IIRC.

Yep. Sounds like homework to me. I think we're after a simple answer here.
The database could be computer based or paper based.
The database is compiled and utilised by database users in the following way:
As a database user is presented with a problem, they first search the database for the problem.
If they find the problem (i.e. a known problem), they can utilise the solution/s listed against that problem.
If they don't find the problem, they revisit the database after they've found a solution, and create an entry for that problem/solution. In this way, the database is slowly being compiled.
Also, had the problem been found in the database and the listed solution/s didn't work, the database user would normally revisit the database to add their solution to the problem. Again, the database is slowly being compiled.

Homework answer:
Just like any real life situation, experience counts. A 'database' of prior problems and solutions is a proxy for experience.
For example, if you've been hit over the head with a hammer, your database in your head will automatically remind you to avoid the hammer next time.
Sorry Vlad, had to do that just to prove you wrong. ;-)
I've actually been busy hacking on my TCP/IP ...

If you compile something full of problems, you tend to end up with a lot of error messages and warnings from the compiler, no matter if it is a database or something else.
