CRUD ?

The term "CRUD" refers to the four operations that are thought to be required to develop a data storing application: create, read, update, and delete. It originates from the area of computer programming. Any data storage device, such as a solid-state drive or a hard disc, that keeps power after the device is turned off is referred to as persistent storage. In contrast, volatile memory, which includes random access memory and internal caching, stores information that will be lost when a device loses power.
