DBMS stands for Database Management System. It is a software program that primarily functions as an interface between the database and the end-user. It provides us the power such as managing the data, the database engine, and the database schema to facilitate the organization and manipulation of data using a simple query in almost no time. It is like a File Manager that manages data in a database rather than saving it in file systems. Without the database management system, it would be far more difficult for the user to access the database's data.
The following are the components of a DBMS:
- Software
- Data
- Procedures
- Database Languages
- Query Processor
- Database Manager
- Database Engine
- Reporting
