Database: is the collection of interrelated data.

DBMS: A Database Management System (DBMS) is a software system


that allows users to create, define, manipulate and manage
databases. It provides a way for organizations to store, organize and
retrieve large amounts of data quickly and efficiently in an organized
manner.
A DBMS (Database Management System) is a software system that allows users to define, create,
manage, and manipulate databases. It acts as an interface between the database and the users or
applications, ensuring efficient data storage, retrieval, and management.

Types of DBMS:

1. Hierarchical DBMS: Data is organized in a tree-like structure, where each record has a
single parent.
2. Network DBMS: Similar to hierarchical but allows more complex relationships with
multiple parent records.
3. Relational DBMS (RDBMS): Data is stored in tables (relations), and SQL is used to
manage and query data. Examples: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle.
4. Object-Oriented DBMS: Data is stored as objects, similar to how objects are used in
programming languages. Example: ObjectDB.
5. NoSQL DBMS: Designed for unstructured or semi-structured data, often used for large-
scale applications. Examples: MongoDB, Cassandra, CouchDB.

Examples of popular DBMS:

 MySQL (RDBMS)
 Oracle Database (RDBMS)
 PostgreSQL (RDBMS)
 Microsoft SQL Server (RDBMS)
 MongoDB (NoSQL)

An RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) is a type of DBMS (Database Management


System) that organizes data in a relational format, using tables (also called relations) to represent data
and relationships among those data points.
