Database

"mmya!!"

- Database's catchphrase

Database or Data, is a student of Springfield Elementary and a member and leader of "The Superfriends".

History
Database's real name is not known, and he is usually seen with his fellow nerd or geek Martin Prince. He is the head of the Superfriends, a group of nerds consisting of Cosine, Ham, E-mail, Lisa and Report Card. Like many nerds in Springfield Elementary, Database is a common target for Nelson, Dolph, Jimbo and Kearney. Database was part of the group of boys who rescued the Springfield Lemon Tree from Shelbyville and was also part of the Pre-Teen braves.

Behind the Laughter
In the DVD commentary for Lemon of Troy, Matt Groening states that Database is his least favorite recurring character.

Yeardley Smith has suggested that Database should be teamed up with Professor Frink.

Database's father is shown in Lemon of Troy, but he never speaks and is only in the background. He hasn't been seen since.

In later episodes, Database is voiced by Tress MacNeille.

In The Simpsons: Hit and Run, he was known as 'the nerd' and, for some reason, could drive a real car.
