Database and Management Information System
• A database management system (DBMS) refers to a software
package that is designed in a way that it defines, retrieves,
manipulates, and manages the data in the database.
• A DBMS generally helps in manipulating the data itself, the
field names, the data format, and the record structure.
• Every organization and platform needs to store the data
securely so that it can be retrieved and used when required in
the future.
