DATABASE

A database is a collection of related data that can be recorded and have implicit meaning. A database management system (DBMS) enables users to create and maintain a database through a collection of programs. A DBMS provides advantages like centralized control and data independence, while disadvantages include problems with centralization and complexity of backup and recovery. Data manipulation languages allow users to access and manipulate data through operations like retrieval, insertion, deletion, and modification. Data definition languages define the database schema and data control languages control access to stored data through commands like GRANT and REVOKE. Oracle is a powerful and popular relational database management system.

DISADVANTAGES OF DBMS :-
i. Problem associated with centralization
ii. Cost of software/hardware and migration
iii. Complexity of backup and recovery

DATA MANIPULATION LANGUAGE (DML) :-


A data manipulation language is a language that enables users to
access or manipulate data as organized by the appropriate data
model. Data manipulation means-

i. Retrieval of information stored in the database.


ii. Insertion of new information into the database.
iii. The deletion of information from the database.

object schema. The result of compilation of DDL statement is a set of
tables which are stored in a special file called data dictionary. A data
dictionary is a file that contains metadata i.e. ‘data about data’. This
file is consulted before actual data is read or modified in the database
system.

Date:-
Example:-
Create, drop etc.

DATA CONTROL LANGUAGE (DCL) :-


A data control language (DCL) is a syntax similar to a computer
programming language used to control access to data stored in a
