Data Dictionary
Database dictionary is the set of files which contains the metadata of database system. Being the crucial
part of the relational database, it provides additional information about relationships between the
entities and columns, helps to organize data in neat form by removing the redundancy (Singh, 2009).

b) Active Data Dictionary


The database management system software manages active data automatically and in a systematic way
which is done mostly in RDMS as the active data dictionary. It is also called as integrated data dictionary.

c) Passive Data Dictionary


The data in the database system are not automatically updated so we need to have manual
manipulation to keep the record as updated. It is very difficult to update the data in the system
manually. That is why it is also called as non-integrated data dictionary.
The data dictionary that is used to complete the database management system is given below;
