>i searched using the quotes and i did get the db connections links but the way the phrase was put to me i got the feeling that a recycled db was a category of db, i just figures that it was very old given the 15-20 year old nature of their systems. it was a manager that said it was a recycled db so maybe he is confused. thanks for getting back

A Google search, restricted specifically to the Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org), doesn't show up a single result. Note that the Wikipedia is an encyclopedia with 1.1M articles. The article on "Database", while being quite long, mentions several models, but doesn't include the phrase "recycle".
So, I would say, if the term exists, it isn't common knowledge. I think you should say so to the client, and ask them for further clarification.
