01 Learn DB

A database is an organized digital storage system for information, like a student register, while a Database Management System (DBMS) is software that manages and retrieves data from a database. There are two main types of DBMS: Relational (RDBMS) which uses SQL for structured data, and Non-Relational (NoSQL) which uses other query languages for unstructured data. Examples of RDBMS include MySQL and PostgreSQL, while MongoDB is a popular NoSQL DBMS.

📘 What is a Database?

A Database is like a digital notebook or file where we store information in an organized way so
we can use it easily later.

👉 Example:
Think of a school student register – it stores names, roll numbers, marks, etc. That’s a database!

💡 Real-life examples:

 Contacts saved in your phone 📱


 YouTube videos list 📹
 Online shopping order history 🛒

💻 What is DBMS (Database Management System)?

A DBMS is a software that helps us create, store, manage, and retrieve data from a database.

It works like a manager between the user and the database.

👉 Example:
You don’t write directly on your phone’s memory – you use an app (like Contacts) to add, edit,
or delete contacts. That app works like a DBMS.

🧠 In simple terms:

Term Meaning Example


Database Place to store data Student list in a file
DBMS Tool to manage and access that data Software like MySQL, SQLite, etc.

🎯 Features of DBMS:

 Easy to insert, update, delete data


 Avoids data duplication
 Protects data with security
 Helps in fast searching of data
📦 Database = The actual data (like files, tables, documents).
⚙️DBMS = The software or system that manages those databases.

🎯 Now, let’s look at examples to understand better:

Name Type What it does

MySQL DBMS Manages data in relational tables (SQL format)

Manages data in JSON-like documents (NoSQL


MongoDB DBMS
format)

The database inside MongoDB/MySQL Database Stores the actual data like users, orders, etc.

🔸 SQL is a language, not a place to store data.

SQL = Structured Query Language


It is used to talk to a database.

You use SQL to:

 Create tables
 Insert data
 Fetch data
 Update or delete data

But SQL by itself does not store data — it just gives commands.

The data is stored inside a database, which is managed by a DBMS like:

DBMS Software Uses SQL? Stores Data?


MySQL ✅ Yes ✅ Yes
PostgreSQL ✅ Yes ✅ Yes
Oracle DB ✅ Yes ✅ Yes
SQLite ✅ Yes ✅ Yes

🌟 Final Answer:

Name Type Meaning

SQL Language SQL is a language used to interact with Relational DBMS like MySQL, PostgreSQL.

MongoDB DBMS MongoDB is a NoSQL Database Management System (NoSQL DBMS) — it does
Name Type Meaning

not use SQL, it uses its own Mongo Query Language (MQL).

✌️Types of DBMS:

1️⃣ Relational DBMS (RDBMS)

 Stores data in tables (rows & columns like Excel)


 Uses SQL language to manage data
 Best for structured data

🔹 Examples:

 MySQL
 Oracle
 PostgreSQL
 SQLite

🔹 Language Used:

SQL (Structured Query Language)

💬 Example SQL Query:


sql
SELECT * FROM students WHERE marks > 90;

2️⃣ Non-Relational DBMS (NoSQL DBMS)

 Stores data in documents, key-value, graph, or column format


 Uses other query languages, not SQL
 Best for unstructured or semi-structured data

🔹 Examples:

 MongoDB (uses JSON-like documents)


 Cassandra
 Firebase
 CouchDB

🔹 Language Used:

MQL (Mongo Query Language) in MongoDB, JSON-based queries in others

💬 Example MongoDB Query:


js
db.students.find({ marks: { $gt: 90 } });
