Introduction

Database management systems (DBMS) are necessary to manage large volumes of data coming

from many areas, e.g., business applications, scientific researches or healthcare services providing

entities as well as in social media. Data lakes support storage, retrieval and management of data

across organizations to make sure it is available consistently and securely. Nevertheless, traditional

DBMS suffer from severe difficulties when handling the explosive growth in data volume and (ab-

)use cases. The reasons were the processing of large amounts on time required and dependability

challenges to keep performing as data grew, scalability of system under increased loads and

preservation high quality inputs with jams soggy outputs from diverse datasets. That is where

machine learning (ML) presents itself as a solution to the fore by orchestrating superior models

and algorithms that can learn from historic data, automate processes, render predictions for future

opportunities [1]. Through this integration with ML, DBMS can deliver on the promise of

everything from automated query optimization to data cleaning and anomaly detection so that

database management is more efficient, as well as smarter. This also helps the integration of not

only better performing, and scalable DBMS but provide additional detailed information regarding

data with this we can make mature decision making process [2].

Many of the traditional DBMSs are limited when confronted by todays data environment

Performance suffers with growing database footprints in short and complex queries that take their

time, greatly contributing to real-time responsiveness of data warehousing system. Another

important problem is scalability, due to the fact that conventional systems typically have difficulty

in scaling out as more data or users are added [3][4]. The quality of data that is ingested poses

significant problems, as the outburst of heterogeneous and high-velocity data increases

inconsistency in an already unstructured manner. Today, these challenges are addressed through a

highly sophisticated family of techniques known as Machine learning (ML) that implies the

evolution and adaptation with every new data. Implemented ML in query optimization uses former

performance data to predict the best execution plans, which reduces response time and resource

usage tremendously. These types of anomaly detection algorithms, i.e., isolation forests and

autoencoders detect those irregular patterns which may be a clear sign showing corruption in data

or giving indication that the security has been breached thus making sure to maintain integrity and

assurance. In addition, the ML algorithms automate data cleaning and so they can detect errors by

correlating with many different aspects as well but remain high-quality of dataset with bit human

efforts [5][6]. ML-based predictive analytics can even predict trends and patterns for proactive

database management and resource allocation. With all these ML applications, DBMS becomes

smart systems working intelligently to accommodate the complexities of today's data

environments in order to deliver optimal performance and scalability as well as quality. This

powerful synergy between DBMS and ML not only plays a significant role in operational

efficiency but also helps to reveal valuable information from your data sources, facilitating

innovation & informed decision-making across industries [7][8].
