What is Management System?

A database-management system (DBMS) is a collection of


interrelated data and a set of programs to access those data. This is a collection of related data with
an implicit meaning and hence is a database. The collection of data, usually referred to as the
database, contains information relevant to an enterprise. The primary goal of a DBMS is to provide a
way to store and retrieve database information that is both convenient and efficient. By data, we
mean known facts that can be recorded and that have implicit meaning. The management system is
important because without the existence of some kind of rules and regulations it is not possible to
maintain the database. We have to select the particular attributes which should be included in a
particular table; the common attributes to create relationship between two tables; if a new record
has to be inserted or deleted then which tables should have to be handled etc. These issues must be
resolved by having some kind of rules to follow in order to maintain the integrity of the database.
Database systems are designed to manage large bodies of information. Management of data
involves both defining structures for storage of information and providing mechanisms for the
manipulation of information. In addition, the database system must ensure the safety of the
information stored, despite system crashes or attempts at unauthorized access. If data are to be
shared among several users, the system must avoid possible anomalous results. Because information
is so important in most organizations, computer scientists have developed a large body of concepts
and techniques for managing data. These concepts and technique form the focus of this book. T
