.
Basic DBMS terminologies
aDescription:
Raw, unorganized facts that do not carry any meaningful information on their own. It can be
numbers, text, or symbols.
Example:
•101, John, 25, A

2. Information

Description:
Processed data that is meaningful and provides context or knowledge.
Example:
•When raw data like 101, John, 25, A is organized:
"Student ID: 101, Name: John, Age: 25, Grade: A"
•This meaningful output is information.
3. Database

Description:
A structured collection of related data that is stored electronically in a
computer system, which can be easily accessed, managed, and updated.

Example:

•A Student Database containing tables for:


•Students: StudentID, Name, Age, Grade
•Courses: CourseID, CourseName, Credits
4. Database Management System (DBMS)

Description:

Software used to manage databases. It


allows users to perform operations such as
storing, retrieving, and updating data in a
systematic way.
Example:
• Popular DBMS software: MySQL, Oracle,
Microsoft SQL Server.
5. Schema

Description:

The structure or design of a database that defines how data is organized,


including tables, fields, relationships, and constraints.

Example:

•A Library Database Schema might include:

•Books(BookID, Title, Author, Genre)


•Members(MemberID, Name, MembershipType)
•Transactions(TransactionID, BookID, MemberID, IssueDate, ReturnDate)
6. Entity

Description:

An object or thing in the real world that can be represented in a


database. Each entity has attributes.

Example:

• Entity: Student
• Attributes: StudentID, Name, Age, Grade
7. Attribute

Description:
A property or characteristic of an entity.

Example:

•For the entity "Student", attributes could be:


StudentID, Name, Age, Grade.
8. Record (Tuple)

Description:

A single row in a table, representing


one instance of an entity.

Example:

•A record in the "Students" table:


101, John, 25, A.
9. Field

Description:

A single column in a table,


representing an attribute of the
entity.

Example:

• The "Name" column in the


"Students" table is a field.
