【語法分析】
這句話是一個主系表句型,主語"The idea",系詞"was",標語是由不定式"to test the machines"做的,"on the database"是地點狀語修飾動詞。"that"引導的是一個定語從句修飾"a datebase"。破折號后面的同樣是定語從句修飾"a datebase"
這句話注意破折號后面的部分,它應該也是定語從句的一部分,你可以給它理解成"a datebase that is not just a large database..."省略了系動詞。"feature"這個動詞有收錄的意思,你可以通過"太有特征性而被收錄"的思路來記憶。注意"not just...more",理解成"不僅更"的含義。
