Databanks were a form of popular entertainment in 2294. The databank programs included Star Yachts, Interior Architecture and Luxury Worlds. All of these publications scanned the starship Plush Princess. (TOS novel: The Fearful Summons)

The Databank at StarWars.com is the only official Star Wars database available to the public. Entries are sorted alphabetically within several categories. Each entry is split into three sections (where applicable)—it first describes things as seen in the movies (if at all), then explores additional information from the Expanded Universe, and then finally a look behind the scenes.
Most entries are written by Pablo Hidalgo. The recent What's The Story? feature of Star Wars Hyperspace has allowed fans to write databank entries on the more obscure characters, vehicles, species and locations of the saga.

April Fools' Day entries On April 1, 2006, StarWars.com added a few entries meant as a joke, which seemed to make the Willow universe part of the Star Wars continuity. On April 1, 2007, Indiana Jones and THX 1138 were added to the list of characters in the "Character Archive" section. Instead of a Databank entry, the links pointed to the official websites for the Indiana Jones series and for the film THX 1138, respectively. Unlike the Willow entries, these links are still active. |
A Databank (also called Database) was a structured collection of records or data that was stored in a computer system or mainframe. It required a password and social security number to get into. Trojan viruses often found their way into these databases.
A databank is a component of Transformer anatomy the function of which is not entirely explained.
When Optimus Prime was badly wounded after a Decepticon attack, Huffer did not think the repairs would go well as he felt it in his databanks. Divide and Conquer
From this, one could infer that a Transformer's databank is analogous with a human's "gut," as in the phrase "I just know it in my gut that this won't work." Whether the databank is related to the trilithium stomach is anyone's guess.
During the Decepticon assault on an Autobot bunker, Prime said the heat from the enemy's weapon fire was strong enough to cook their databanks and informed his troops to pull back. Auto Berserk
