Databases and Database Management Systems
Adatabase is a collection of related data or facts. A database management system (DBMS) is a software tool that allows people to store, access, and process data or facts into useful information
Many small database programs that run on personal computers are not referred to as databases or database management programs;instead they are called personal information managers (PIMs), personal organizers, and other names
A DBMS makes it possible to do many routine tasks that would otherwise be tectious and time-consuming without a computer. For example, a DBMS can:
Sort thousands of addresses by ZIP code.
Find all records of people who live in a certain state.
Print a list of selected records, such as all real estate listings that closed escrow last month.
