It keeps related information together in tables, files, or records. For example, a school database may store student names, roll numbers, classes, and marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>FEATURES OF A DATABASE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stores large amounts of data in an organized form.<br>Allows easy retrieval of information.<br>Reduces data redundancy.<br>Improves data consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>EXAMPLE OF A DATABASE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A school record system storing student details such as name, age, class, and marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>DBMS (DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A DBMS is software that is used to create, manage, and control databases. It provides tools that help users store, retrieve, update, and delete data easily. DBMS acts as an interface between the user and the database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>FUNCTIONS OF DBMS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creates and maintains databases.<br>Allows users to insert, update, and delete data.<br>Ensures data security and integrity.<br>Controls access to data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>EXAMPLES OF DBMS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MySQL<br>Oracle<br>Microsoft SQL Server<br>Microsoft Access<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DATABASE AND DBMS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Database is a collection of organized data.<br>Database only stores information.<br>Database does not manage data by itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DBMS is software used to manage databases.<br>DBMS provides tools to handle data.<br>DBMS controls access, security, and operations on data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>CONCLUSION<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A database stores the data, while a DBMS is the software that manages and controls that data. Without a DBMS, it would be difficult to organize, update, and retrieve information from a database.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"yoast-breadcrumbs\"><span><span><a href=\"https:\/\/gigz.pk\/sql\/\">Home<\/a><\/span> \u00bb <span class=\"breadcrumb_last\" aria-current=\"page\">SQL Foundations Program (SQL-101) > Introduction to Databases > Database vs DBMS<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"menu_order":4,"template":"","class_list":["post-56","lesson","type-lesson","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
