title: Model and Databases
summary: Learn how SilverStripe manages database tables, ways to query your database and how to publish data.
introduction: This guide will cover how to create and manipulate data within SilverStripe and how to use the ORM (Object Relational Model) to query data.

In SilverStripe, application data will be represented by a [DataObject](api:SilverStripe\ORM\DataObject) class. A `DataObject` subclass defines the
data columns, relationships and properties of a particular data record. For example, [Member](api:SilverStripe\Security\Member) is a `DataObject` 
which stores information about a person, CMS user or mail subscriber.
