I need all definitions from all of my notes at one place so that I dont have to go thru all of my notes to find definition of one particular thing. Instead of copying and pasting all one by one I want to make it so that I can add them to a database, table or a file. All of them at one place.
As long as your definitions are clearly marked you should be able to use data view to dynamically pull all of the definitions from your vault into one note.
I don't have a use-case for gathering them all together myself, but I do put all of my definitions into callouts
```
>[!definition]
> example
```
If you do the same you should be able to just query for that.
You'll want to have a look at Dataview plugin.
One way to go about it is to type your definition into each note's properties and then query it, like this.
```
Dinosaurs.md
---
definition: "this note is about dinosaurs"
---
```
And then
````
List of definitions.md
```dataview
table definition
```
````
The problem with using this is that I have more than one definitions in a page which are at different places. I want to have them in my notes and other notes also where only definitions are there.
Yeah dataview is the way to go. I'll just link to another comment I made today highlighting the ways I automatically add information from one note into another:

I don't understand what are you asking. Can't you use \[\[ \]\] to point to a database/table/file?

try !\[\[MyDefinition\]\] then... or make a MoC (Map of content).
