tool, is widely used in developing intelligent systems. Agents in multi-agent system are autonomous and capable of doing tasks independently, however they share information with each other to achieve their respective goals. Information may be a result of task or a request to other agent to perform some task. To develop an integrated system, database forms basis. This paper presents the role of database in resource allocation problem in multiagent environment. The aim of problem is to allocate funds to most deserving and competing funds seekers. Agents of multiagent resource allocation system share information with back support of database. Agents are developed in Java Agent Development Framework (JADE). Instance of Java class in agents is used to interact with database. This methodology to integrate database and agents has been found useful in solving resource allocation problem.
