# Database Types

## `Database.Account`

An account, as a database reports it.

## `Database.Database`

State an EVM reads through.

A database answers reads and nothing else. Writes accumulate inside the EVM, never reaching back through this boundary, so a source can be a plain object over local state or a view onto a remote node.

Reads are synchronous here. Asynchronous sources arrive with a separate type.
