    The document discusses databases and database management systems (DBMS). It defines a database as a collection of interrelated data organized for efficient retrieval, insertion, and deletion. A DBMS is software that manages databases, allowing users to define, update, and retrieve data. It provides security, data consistency with multiple users, and other benefits like reduced redundancy, data sharing between users, and backup/recovery capabilities. However, DBMS also has disadvantages like increased costs, hardware requirements, complexity, and higher impact of failures.

    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

    o 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.
    o 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.
    o It provides protection and security to the database. In the case of multiple users, it also
    maintains data consistency.

    DBMS allows users the following tasks:

    o Data Definition: It is used for creation, modification, and removal of definition that defines the
    organization of data in the database.
    o Data Updation: It is used for the insertion, modification, and deletion of the actual data in the
    database.
    o Data Retrieval: It is used to retrieve the data from the database which can be used by
    applications for various purposes.
    o User Administration: It is used for registering and monitoring users, maintain data integrity,
    enforcing data security, dealing with concurrency control, monitoring performance and
    recovering information corrupted by unexpected failure.

    Characteristics of DBMS

    o It 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.
    o DBMS contains automatic backup and recovery procedures.
    o It can reduce the complex relationship between data.
    o 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
    o 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.
    o Data sharing: In DBMS, the authorized users of an organization can share the data among
    multiple users.
    o Easily Maintenance: It can be easily maintainable due to the centralized nature of the
    database system.
    o Reduce time: It reduces development time and maintenance need.
    o Backup: It provides backup and recovery subsystems which create automatic backup of data
    from hardware and software failures and restores the data if required.
    o multiple user interface: It provides different types of user interfaces like graphical user
    interfaces, application program interfaces

    Disadvantages of DBMS

    o Cost of Hardware and Software: It requires a high speed of data processor and large memory
    size to run DBMS software.
    o Size: It occupies a large space of disks and large memory to run them efficiently.
    o Complexity: Database system creates additional complexity and requirements.
    o 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.
