A data set (or dataset) is a collection of data. In the case of tabular data, a data set corresponds to one or more database tables, where every column of a table represents a particular variable, and each row corresponds to a given record of the data set in question.
In Statistics, we have different types of data sets available for different types of information. They are: Numerical data sets. Bivariate data sets.
Data sets can hold information such as medical records or insurance records, to be used by a program running on the system. Data sets are also used to store information needed by applications or the operating system itself, such as source programs, macro libraries, or system variables or parameters.
A data set is a collection of numbers or values that relate to a particular subject. For example, the test scores of each student in a particular class is a data set. The number of fish eaten by each dolphin at an aquarium is a data set.
In American English, database usually means "an organized collection of data". A database is usually under the control of a database management system, which is software that, among other things, manages multi-user access to the database. (Usually, but not necessarily. Some simple databases are just text files processed with interpreted languages like awk and Python.)
In the SQL world, which is what I'm most familiar with, a database includes things like tables, views, stored procedures, triggers, permissions, and data.
Again, in American English, dataset usually refers to data selected and arranged in rows and columns for processing by statistical software. The data might have come from a database, but it might not.
