Does a database become more complex when you change the data? Does it become significantly more complex if you duplicate all the records? Does it become significantly more complex if, after the record duplication, some records are changed?

Yes, yes and yes. Have you ever worked with databases and tables as a programer?

Yes, yes and yes.

Interesting. How does changing information in a database make the database more complex? How does a database become more complex if a copy of it is made? How does it become more complex if, following a copy, some records are changed?

So you are saying that a database whose records are duplicated has significantly more information than one that doesn't? I wonder what Shannon would say about that?
