Introduction to Data base and FoxPro

What is database?
A database is an organized collection of structured information, or data, typically stored electronically in a
computer system. A database is usually controlled by a database management system (DBMS).

The data can then be easily accessed, managed, modified, updated, controlled, and organized.
Most databases use structured query language (SQL) for writing and querying data.

the data and the DBMS, along with the applications that are associated with them, are referred to as a
database system, often shortened to just database.

Types of databases
• Relational databases. Relational databases became dominant in the 1980s. Items in a relational
database are organized as a set of tables with columns and rows. Relational database technology
provides the most efficient and flexible way to access structured information.
• Object-oriented databases. Information in an object-oriented database is represented in the form of
objects, as in object-oriented programming.
• Distributed databases. A distributed database consists of two or more files located in different sites.
The database may be stored on multiple computers, located in the same physical location, or scattered
over different networks.
• Data warehouses. A central repository for data, a data warehouse is a type of database specifically
designed for fast query and analysis.
• NoSQL databases. A NoSQL, or no relational database, allows unstructured and semi structured data
to be stored and manipulated (in contrast to a relational database, which defines how all data inserted
into the database must be composed). NoSQL databases grew popular as web applications became
more common and more complex.
• Graph databases. A graph database stores data in terms of entities and the relationships between
entities.
• OLTP databases. An OLTP database is a speedy, analytic database designed for large numbers of
transactions performed by multiple users.
• Open source databases. An open source database system is one whose source code is open

source; such databases could be SQL or NoSQL databases.

• Cloud databases. A cloud database is a collection of data, either structured or unstructured,
that resides on a private, public, or hybrid cloud computing platform. There are two types
of cloud database models: traditional and database as a service (DBaaS). With DBaaS,
administrative tasks and maintenance are performed by a service provider.
• Multimodel database. Multimodel databases combine different types of database models
into a single, integrated back end. This means they can accommodate various data types.
• Document/JSON database. Designed for storing, retrieving, and managing document-
oriented information, document databases are a modern way to store data in JSON format
rather than rows and columns.

 • Self-driving databases. The newest and most groundbreaking type of database, self-driving
databases (also known as autonomous databases) are cloud-based and use machine learning
to automate database tuning, security, backups, updates, and other routine management tasks
traditionally performed by database administrators.

What is FoxPro?
FoxPro is a one of leading DBMS SOFTWARE FOR THE PC and developed by ashton tate in 1979 – 80 that
