The followings are the few advantages of DBMS :

 Data Sharing: Data from the same database can be shared by multiple users at the same time.

 Integrity: It allows the data stored in an organized and refined manner.

 Data Independence: It allows changing the data structure without changing the composition of
executing programs.

 Data Security: DBMS comes with the tools to make the storage and transfer of databases secure and
reliable. Authentication and encryption are the tools used in DBMS for data security.

The levels form a three-level architecture that includes an external, a conceptual, and an internal level. The
way users recognize the data is called the external level. The way the DBMS and the operating system
distinguish the data is the internal level, where the data is stored using the data structures and file. The
conceptual level offers both the mapping and the desired independence between the external and internal
levels.
