What is Database The database is a collection of inter- related data which is used to retrieve, insert and delete the data efficiently. It is also used to organize the data in the form of a table, schema, views, and reports, etc. For example: The college Database organizes the data about the admin, staff, students and faculty etc.Using the database, you can easily retrieve, insert, and delete the information. Database Management System ° Database management system is a software which is used to manage the database. For example: MySQL, Oracle, etc are a very popular commercial database which is used in different applications. ° DBMS provides an interface to perform various operations like database creation, storing data in it, updating data, creating a table in the database and a lot more. ° It provides protection and security to the database. In the case of multiple users, it also maintains data consistency.

Data Retrieval: It is used to retrieve the data from the database which can be used by applications for various purposes. ° User Administration: |t is used for registering and monitoring users, maintain data integrity, enforcing data security, dealing with concurrency control, ° monitoring performance and recovering information corrupted by unexpectedigaikure.elt uses a _ digital repository established on a server to store and manage the information. o It can provide a clear and logical view of the process that manipulates data. ° DBMS contains automatic backup and recovery procedures.olt can reduce the complex relationship between data. ° It is used to support manipulation and processing of data. o It is used to provide security of data. °o It can view the database from different viewpoints according to the requirements of the user. Advantages of DBMS° Controls database redundancy: It can control data redundancy because it stores all the data in one single database file and that recorded data is placed in the database. co Data sharing: In DBMS, the authorized users of an organization can share the data dvertisement° ° ° ° Easily Maintenance: It can be easily maintainable due to the centralized nature of the database system. Reduce _ time: It reduces development time and maintenance need. Backup: It provides backup and recovery subsystems — which create automatic backup of data from hardware and_ software failures and restores the data if required. multiple user interface: It provides different types of user interfaces like graphical user interfaces, application program interfacesDisadvantages of DBMS ADVERTISEMENT © Cost of Hardware and Software: It requires a high speed of data processor and large memory size to run DBMS software. ° Size: It occupies a large space of disks and large memory to run them efficiently. oc Complexity: Database system creates additional complexity and requirements.co Higher impact of failure: Failure is highly impacted the database because in most of the organization, all the data stored in a single database and if the database is damaged due to electric failure or database corruption then the data may be lost forever.
