Abstract
Symbiotic variables belong to an interesting class of interacting binary stars. At the beginning of this century, a systematic search for these objects was begun and such surveys in the Milky Way and the Local Group have resulted in discoveries of many new symbiotics and dozens of candidates.
Because the latest catalogue of symbiotic binaries has been outdated for almost two decades, we decided to prepare a new database of the Galactic and extra-Galactic symbiotic systems. We present it in this work.
Our database is available online, allowing it to be up-to-date and available to the astronomical community at any time. The database also includes a web portal that allows easy data access without the necessity for any additional software or formatting of the data.
