Database Management Systems (DBMS)
A Database Management System (DBMS) is a software application designed to interact with users, other applications, and the database itself to capture, store, manage, and retrieve data in an organized and efficient manner. DBMS plays a crucial role in managing large amounts of data by ensuring data integrity, security, and consistency while providing ease of access and manipulation for users and applications. The data is typically stored in a structured format, such as tables, rows, and columns, within a database.
