Introduction to Database Management Systems And Their Advantages

DBMS is an acronym used for Database Management System. In simple words, it is a system that manages or handles databases. Examples of this system are SQL Server and Oracle. These are systems that can be utilized to handle transactional databases like banking systems, HR systems, and others. These are usually optimized for executing transactions.

DBMS gives programmers and users with an efficient method of retrieving, creating, managing, and updating data. It makes it possible for end users to update, create, read, and delete data in a database. It basically acts as an interface between end users or applications and the database making sure that data is regularly organized and continues to be easily accessible. The DBMS manages three vital things:

• * The data.
• * The database engine that permits data to be modified, accessed, and locked.
• * The database schema which describes the database’s logical structure.

These three foundational elements help in providing security, uniform administration procedures, concurrency, and data integrity.
