The Vulcan database was a collection of information on all civilizations, astral bodies and spatial phenomenon encountered by the Vulcans through the mid-22nd century. The Vulcan star charts made up part of this database.

The Vulcans provided the crew of the NX-class starship Enterprise NX-01 with its database to help assist in its first steps into interstellar space.

Captain Jonathan Archer of Enterprise often allowed himself to be inspired by the Vulcan database as to what planet to visit next. Among those planets were P'Jem and Coridan. During a disastrous first contact with Andorians, Hoshi Sato studied the database about them, and learned they were "blue skinned" and "militaristic." (ENT: "The Andorian Incident", "Shadows of P'Jem") The Enterprise crew was also able to research amenities on Risa from the database. (ENT: "Fallen Hero")

The database helped the crew to identify a Klingon Raptor-class scout ship discovered in the atmosphere of a class 9 gas giant. Captain Archer later consulted it to learn more about Klingon psychology; it contained over 900 pages on Klingon culture. (ENT: "Sleeping Dogs")

Although the Vulcan database is referenced in ENT: "Detained", it wasn't mentioned in the final draft script of that installment. Conversely, the database was referenced by Admiral Forrest in the final draft script of "Fallen Hero" though this dialogue was ultimately omitted. In the scene, Forrest referred to the coordinates of the planet Mazar as additionally being in the Vulcan database.
