Database management system

A Database Management System (DBMS) is a software program designed to manage structured data and facilitate user operations, commonly exemplified by banking systems. It encompasses various types of databases, including network, hierarchical, relational, and object-oriented, and relies on four main components: data, hardware, software, and users. The advantages of using a DBMS include enhanced data security, reduced redundancy, ease of data interrelation, efficient backup and recovery, and support for multiple users.

A database management system
(DBMS) is a computer program
designed to manage a large amount
of structured data, and run operations
on the desired data requested by the
users. The best example of DBMS is
Banking. All the transactions that take
place are based on a defined software
program which keeps track of all the
data.
The concept of DBMS is an important
topic from a perspective. It also forms
an integral part of the syllabus for
major competitive exams. Thus, one
must carefully go through the
concept.
The core of any database management system
is the data itself. Another important aspect
regarding DBMS is the difference between
data and information.

Data: It is the unorganised facts which need


to be compiled to form meaningful information

Information: Once the data is processed and


made into a structured context, it is called
information.
What is DBMS and Its Types
A collection of information which is managed
such that it can be updated and easily
accessed is called a database. A software
package which can be used to manipulate,
validate and retrieve this database is called
a Database Management System.
there are majorly four types of
database:
Network Database: When the details of multiple
members can be linked to the files of multiple owners
and vice versa, it is called a network database.
Hierarchical Database: When the data stored in
the form of records and is connected to each other
through links is called hierarchical database. Each
record comprises fields and each field comprises only
one value.
Relational Database: When the data is organised
as a set of tables comprising rows and columns with
a pre-defined relationship with one another, it is
called a relational database.
Object-oriented Database – the information is
represented as objects, with different types of
relationships possible between two or more objects.
Such databases use an object-oriented programming
language for development.
Components of Database
Management Software
There four main components on which the working of
a DBMS depends. This includes:
Data: The main component is the data. The entire
database is set based on the data and the
information processed based on it. This data acts as a
bridge between the software and hardware
components of DBMS. This can further be divided into
three varieties:
User Data – The actual data based on which
the work is done

Metadata – This is the data of the data, i.e.,


managing the data required to enter the
information

Application MetaData – This is the structure


and format of the queries
To simplify it, in a table, the information given
in each table is the User Data, the number of
tables, rows and columns is the MetaData the
structure we choose is the Application
MetaData.

Hardware: These are the general hardware


devices which help us save and enter the data
like hard disks, magnetic tapes, etc.
Software: The software acts as a medium of
communication between the user and the database.
Based on the user’s requirement, the database can
be modified and updated. To perform operations on
the data, query languages like SQL are used.
Users: No function can be performed without the
Users. Thus, they form the fourth most important
component of DBMS. The information entered into a
database is used by the User or the administrator to
perform their business operations and
responsibilities.
Benefits of Using Database Management
System

Major Organisations and Banking firms choose


to work using the Database Management
System. It is because this system program
helps the user and the administrator easily
manage the data and information on the
database
Advantages of dbms
(1)Benefits of Using Securing the data is easy. The
administrator can restrict the usage of the database
to a few people only. Thus, access to the database is
restricted only to the administering team of an
Organisation or Business which can keep the data safe
(2)A single file can manage the entire database which
is why duplicity and redundancy cannot happen. This
makes the data more consistent and easy to update
(3)Since tables can be created in DBMS, interrelating
the data and elements with each other is convenient
(4)The backup and recovery of data is managed by
the software, which ensures that the database is
secure at all times
(5)It allows multi-users to operate the database at a
single time, making it more efficient
Data Manipulation Languages (DML) – This is a
programming language used to insert or modify the
data present in a database These are of two types:
SQL and DDL.
Structured Query Language (SQL) – A
programming language generally used for the
relational database management system, which
comprises tables.
Data Definition Language (DDL) – It is a syntax
which helps in modifying data present in the form of
tables or indexes
Primary Key – Each file has a unique key. Using the
Primary Key, a specific file can be identified
Foreign Key – The relation between a field in one
table and component identified by a primary key can
be detected using a Foreign Key
