Data pack
A data pack is a pre-made database that can be fed to a software, such as software agents, game, Internet bots or chatterbots, to teach information and facts, which it can later look up. In other words, a data pack can be used to feed minor updates into a system.
Introduction
Common data packs may include abbreviations, acronyms, dictionaries, lexicons and technical data, such as country codes, RFCs, filename extensions, TCP and UDP port numbers, country calling codes, and so on.Data packs may come in formats of CSV and SQL that can easily be parsed or imported into a database management system.
The database may consist of a key-value pair, like an association list.
Data packs are commonly used within the video [game industry] to provide minor updates within their games. When a user downloads an update for a game they will be downloading loads of data packs which will contain updates for the game such as minor bug fixes or additional content. An example of a data pack used to update a game can be found on the references.
Example
SELECT capital FROM countries WHERE country='Sweden'
