INTRODUCING DATABASE MANAGEMENT
SYSTEMS (DBMS)
• Definition of DBMS: software applications for managing and manipulating data.
• Benefits of using a DBMS:

• Data sharing: facilitates collaboration and knowledge sharing within an organization.
COMMON TYPES OF DBMS
• Relational DBMS (RDBMS): most popular type, organizes data in tables with
relationships. (Examples: MySQL, Oracle)
