DBMS
 DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
• Database: A database is a collection of related data which represents
some aspect of the real world.
• Database Management System:
• A database management system (DBMS) is a collection of programs that
enables you to store, modify, and extract information from a database. There
are many different types of database management systems, ranging from
small systems that run on personal computers to huge systems that run
on mainframes. OR
• A database management system (DBMS) is system software for creating
and managing databases. The DBMS provides users and programmers with
a systematic way to create, retrieve, update and manage data.
• Applications of DBMS
Airlines, Universities, Banking, Wave, Human Resources, Manufacturing, and selling etc.

• Uses of DBMS
Effective and efficient management of data.
Query processing and management.
Security and integrity of data.
Data sharing and storage.

• Advantages of DBMS
Less space consumes.
Reduction of redundancy.
Data integrity, security, and continuity.
Backup and recovery process.
The data model can be developed.
Concurrency control.
Data independence.
Performance is good.

• Disadvantages of DBMS
Required large size of memory.
Time-consuming.
Required a processor with the high speed of data processing.
Cost of data conversion.
Database failure (DB corrupted due to power failure or whole system stops).
Expensive.
Complex.
Higher impact of a failure (if any component can bring the operation to a halt).
Cost of DBMS (depend on the environment, function or recurrent annual maintenance
cost.
USERS IN DBMS
Application Programmers The Application programmers write
programs in various programming
languages to interact with databases.
Database Administrators Database Admin is responsible for
managing the entire DBMS system.
He/She is called Database admin or DBA.
End-Users The end users are the people who interact
with the database management system.
They conduct various operations on
database like retrieving, updating, deleting,
etc.
FILE SYSTEM VS DBMS
FILE SYSTEM VS DBMS
Traditional File System
File System is a general, easy-to-use system
to store general files which require less
security and constraints.
Data Redundancy (repetition) is more in file
management system.
Data Inconsistency is more in file system.
Security is low in File Management System.
Backup and recovery process is not efficient
because it is not possible to recover lost
data.
Handling is easy
Appropriate to handle data of a small-scale
organization or individual users
It doesn’t support multi user access
Database Management System
Database management system is used when
security constraints are high.
Data Redundancy (repetition) is less in
database management system.
Data Inconsistency is less in database
management system.
Security is high in Database Management
System.
Supports sophisticated backup and recovery
Handling is complex
Suitable for medium to large organizations or
multiple users.
Multi user access
