Code Database

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. A structured representation of source code stored for indexing, querying, or static analysis rather than for normal execution. Code databases are used by code search, semantic navigation, cross-reference tools, and advanced analyzers that need more than raw text files.

    In plain English: A structured store of code information used for search or analysis.

    Example: "The static analysis job loaded the repository into a code database so engineers could query call relationships and symbol usage across the whole monorepo."
