In computing, an active database is a database that includes an event-driven architecture (often in the form of ECA rules) that can respond to conditions both inside and outside the database. Possible uses include security monitoring, alerting, statistics gathering and authorization.[1]

Most modern relational databases include active database features in the form of database triggers.
