Introduction to Database Management System(DBMS)

Data in DBMS: 
  • Data is raw facts or unprocessed values.
  • it can be in the form of numbers, characters, symbols, images, graphics, etc.
  • Data is input given by the computer by the users.
  • It is meaningless on its own.
  • example : 10061995 - Just a number (we don't know what it means).
Information in DBMS:
  • Process data us called information.
  • It is meaningful and useful.
  • information can be reproduced again and again.
  • example: 10061995- If we know it's someone's date of birth, it becomes meaningful information.
What is Database?
A database is a file that is used to store a collection of organized data which can be easily accessed, managed, and updated.
Key points:
  • Database stores data in a structured form (like tables).
  • It helps in quick retrieval and processing of data.
  • Data in a database can be added, deleted, modified, and searched easily.
  • Example: A school database may store: (Student names, Roll numbers, Marks and Addresses). 
  • A library database stores(Book names, Author names, and Borrower's details).

Real life Examples
Area What is stored
Hospital Patient records
Bank Account details, transactions
Railway Train schedules, passengers bookings
