Hi Jayalakshmi,
Following are verifications done in DB testing(remember DB testing is a verification+validation step in V-model.This means even before you start breaking the client reqmts. into modules you have to check if these are sustainable with the DB asked by client.
And also testing the reqts. after the coding begins.

DB Testing covers the following points.
Server Security
Database Connections Check
Table Access Control Check
Restricting Database Access Check
Table Integrity Check
Column Data Type Check

Most of these checks require considerable DB knowledge,it is advisable to be done by a DBA,Except the last two iwhich is done using SQL by Testers.

Hi Jayalakshmi
 
Simple Defination for Database testing :
 
What ever the input we give in the client side ,we will be verify the that .how it's refelected in the database .is it going into the correct table .it's verification of datawhich every we give in the client side.
 
Is done by testers with the help of DBA's
Data verification is part of Database testing
