Printed Database

How does the database look like? In order to see the database you need to give form to it. I printed a collection of books from a zotero database (a program for making collections and references). The book is a dump of all(?) the data in the database using the zotero api and python with reportlab. So the database converts to pdf in one go through python. This print is questioning the shape of databases and how the datastructure can or can not convert into a narrative. Is this book readable, if not, is it a book? This is part of an ongoing reseach on digital structures and databases.
