Correcto

• 国家医学数据库建设要平衡数据共享与患者隐私，任何偏向都可能损害科研或信任。(Building a national medical database must balance data sharing and patient privacy, because any bias can hurt research or public trust.)
• 向量数据库是AI时代的重要演进，能高效检索非结构化数据，弥补传统数据库瓶颈。(Vector databases are an important development in the AI era, efficiently retrieving unstructured data and addressing the bottlenecks of traditional databases.)

Incorrecto

• 数据库 loosely to refer to any collection of data files or spreadsheets — 数据库 specifically refers to a structured, software-managed system for storing, querying, and managing data; for unstructured data collections use 数据集 (dataset) or 数据仓库 (data warehouse) as appropriate; calling a folder of spreadsheets a 数据库 is technically inaccurate
