A database is an organized collection of data.

[1] It is the collection of schemas, tables, queries,


reports, views and other objects. The data are typically organized to model aspects of reality in a way that
supports processes requiring information, such as modelling the availability of rooms in hotels in a way that
supports finding a hotel with vacancies.
A database management system (DBMS) is a computer software application that interacts with the user,
other applications, and the database itself to capture and analyze data. A general-purpose DBMS is designed
to allow the definition, creation, querying, update, and administration of databases. Well-known DBMSs
includeMySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Sybase, SAP HANA, and IBM DB2. A database is
not generally portable across different DBMSs, but different DBMS can interoperate by using standards such
as SQL and ODBC or JDBC to allow a single application to work with more than one DBMS. Database
management systems are often classified according to the database model that they support; the most popular
database systems since the 1980s have all supported the relational model as represented by
the SQL language.[disputed discuss] Sometimes a DBMS is loosely referred to as a 'database'.
