  We describe an online database for extra-solar planetary-mass candidates,
updated regularly as new data are available. We first discuss criteria for the
inclusion of objects in the catalog: "definition" of a planet and several
aspects of the confidence level of planet candidates. {\bf We are led to point
out the conflict between sharpness of belonging or not to a catalogue and
fuzziness of the confidence level.} We then describe the different tables of
extra-solar planetary systems, including unconfirmed candidates (which will
ultimately be confirmed, or not, by direct imaging). It also provides online
tools: histogrammes of planet and host star data, cross-correlations between
these parameters and some VO services. Future evolutions of the database are
presented.
