DBMS is a set of computer programs that controls the creation, maintenance and use of an organization's database. It allows database administrators to control database development and users to store and retrieve data in a structured way. DBMS provides facilities for controlling data access, enforcing data integrity and managing concurrency. It is a set of pre-written programs used to store, update and retrieve data from a database. When a DBMS is used, an information system can be changed more easily as requirements change.

WHAT IS DBMS?

Database Management System (DBMS) is a set of computer programs that


controls the creation, maintenance, and the use of the database of an
organization and its end users. It allows organizations to place control of
organization wide database development in the hands of Database
Administrators (DBAs) and other specialist. DBMSes may use any of a
variety of database models, such as the network model or relational model.
In large systems, a DBMS allows users and other software to store and
retrieve data in a structured way. It helps you specify the logical organization
for a database and access and use the information within a database. It
provides facilities for controlling data access, enforcing data integrity,
managing concurrency controlled ,restoring database.

A DBMS is a set of software programs that controls the organization,


storage, management, and retrieval of data in a database. DBMS are
categorized according to their data structures or types. It is a set of pre
written programs that are used to store, update and retrieve a Database. The
DBMS accepts requests for data from the application program and instructs
the operating system to transfer the appropriate data. When a DBMS is used,
information systems can be changed much more easily as the organization's
information requirements change. New categories of data can be added to
the database without disruption to the existing system.
Organizations may use one kind of DBMS for daily transaction processing
and then move the detail onto another computer that uses another DBMS
better suited for random inquiries and analysis. Overall systems design
decisions are performed by data administrators and systems analysts.
Detailed database design is performed by database administrators.
Database servers are computers that hold the actual databases and run only
the DBMS and related software. Database servers are usually multiprocessor
computers, with generous memory and RAID disk arrays used for stable
storage. Connected to one or more servers via a high-speed channel,
hardware database accelerators are also used in large volume transaction
processing environments. DBMSs are found at the heart of most database
applications. Sometimes DBMSs are built around a private multitasking
kernel with built-in networking support although nowadays these functions
are left to the operating system.
WHAT ARE VARIOUS PACKAGES OF DBMS?

Various packages of DBMS are as follows.


Oracle
MySQL
SQL
MS ACCESS

WHAT IS RDBMS?

A Relational database management system (RDBMS) is a database


management system (DBMS) that is based on the relational model as
introduced by E. F. Codd. Most popular commercial and open source
databases currently in use are based on the relational model.

RDBMS stands for Relational Database Management System. RDBMS data


is structured in database tables, fields and records. Each RDBMS table
consists of database table rows. Each database table row consists of one or
more database table fields.

RDBMS store the data into collection of tables, which might be related by
common fields (database table columns). RDBMS also provide relational
operators to manipulate the data stored into the database tables. Most SQL
use RDBMS as database query language.

Edgar Codd introduced the relational database model. Many modern DBMS
do not conform to the Codd’s definition of a RDBMS, but nonetheless they
are still considered to be RDBMS.

The most popular RDBMS are MS SQL Server, DB2, Oracle and MySQL.
