What Is a DBMS?
A Database Management Software (DBMS) is used for storing, manipulating, and managing data, such as format, names of fields, and record and file structures in a database. Users can construct their own databases using a DBMS to satisfy their business requirements.
To interact with a database, a DBMS package generally uses SQL queries. It receives a command from a database administrator (DBA) and prompts the system to perform the necessary action. These instructions can be about loading, retrieving, or modifying existing data in the system.
Some common examples of DBMSs include: MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, Oracle, IBM DB2, and FoxPro.
