What is Data ?
Word “data” is originated from the word “datum” that means ‘single piece of
information’.
Data is a collection of a disctinct small unit of information.
It can be used in variety of form like text,numbers,media,bytes,etc.,
It is nothing but collection of some raw facts(or) unprocessed facts that you can
record .
Here data is unstructured format not in a meaningful manner.
“raw” indicates that this data is not yet been processed to reveal its meaning
Data can be any form like number,digits(0 to 9) , chracters,special symbols,
pictures, multimedia data(Audio,video) etc.,
Example :
34 , krish , Avinashi
It can be numbers , name of the person, plalce of person and text, images ,audio ,
video ,etc., all these all are called as data.
Process
It is nothing but the manipulation of data.
Manipulation
Changing the data from one form to another form.
Information
Unprocessed data when it processed to make a meaningful context then that is
called as information (or) is called processed data.
Example
The age of krish is 34.
Here i take the raw facts of the unprocessed facts processed to make a meaningful
context is called as information.
Data Information
Before happend process is called The processsed data is called information
data which Does not have any meaning ( After happen process the final result is called
information )
What is Data base(DB)?
Data base is a collection of realted data like
Example :
The data in a online banking system data base has to be realted to that particular
bank,
Similarly the data in a library management system data base has to be realted to
that particular library . so this is what we called as a DB.
It is nothing an orgnaized collection of logically related data without having any
redundancy (It means duplication) stored in one place and accessed by multiple
users at a time simutanoesly.
A data base is a collection of information that is organized so that it can be easily
accessed managed and updated.
You can organize data into tables , rows,columns and index it to make it easier to
find relveant information.
The main purpose of the data base is to operate a large amount of information by
storing , retrieving and managing data.

122 Kumar 21 AIDS
Meta-data
It is nothing but the Data base definition (or) in other words it can say it is the
complete description of a data base (or) defined the Data base.
Information like the storage format (or) the data types of the data that feels going to
store the data base (or) the constrains on the data (or) these information called as
meta-data
Example :
Table and columns names ,data types and formats
Relationship between tables indexes and constraints
What is DBMS?
A DBMS is a system software for easy , efficient and reliable and data processing
and management
It is used for following
o Creation of a data base
o Retrieval of information from the Data base
o Modifying (or) Updating data in a data base
o Managing a Data base
o To remove (or) Delte data from data base
DBMS is also a system (or) it is a software to manage the data base.
Here managing could be either storing of data (or) retrieve of data from the Data
base.
DBMS is a software (or) collection of programs that enables users to create and
maintain the data base.

Software
Where data base is stored?
In above drawing complete the entire black cube is called DBMS software.
Inside the DBMS we can manage the DB with the help of this software.
We are storing a data . this data will access by the end user (or) the programmers
(means users).
We want to access the data means we need to get access with the help of DBMS
only.
Application program is nothing but it is like c,c++,java these all are called different
application program.
DBMS
EX : ORACLE , MYSQL , SQL ,
PosterSQL , MongoDB
Data
DATA BASE
With the help of these DBMS software and Application program we a
Appication Program
EX : C,C++,JAVA , Python
We can access these data with the help of application and DBMS software.
With the help of these two application( DBMS & Application) we can retrieve the
data , we can modify the data , we can delete the data , whatever operations that we
want to perform on this data only with the help of application program and DBMS
software.
