Arrays in Java™ are used to hold data as are databases, also.

Research and discuss the differences between these two approaches. In what situations would it be appropriate to use an array to hold data, and in what situations would it be appropriate to use a database instead? Are there any scenarios in which it might be appropriate to use both a database and an array to process data in the same Java™ app?
