Database - Introduction to Database - Discussion

It allows applications to interact with the database using queries (like SQL).

The application sends a request → DBMS processes it → database returns the result.

So, the DBMS is the interface between the application and the database.

A database is a collection of related data that is held in a database where the users of that database can manipulate it.

The Correct answer is A, because DBMS is the system that manages the database; it means the base of data is not directly connected to the user, but there is an application that we call a database application, which is used by the user so that he/she can access the base of data.

Database application and the database is the correct answer.

Database is used to store data and it hide the data.

For ex: in online shopping.

DBMS is a software tools which will be used to maintain and manage the data within a data base.

Database application is what the user interacts with and the user to interact with database he makes use of an interface called dbms which explains about various standards in accessing database.

Database is used to store data and it hide the data.

For ex: in on line shopping.

DBMS is an s\w system that allow user to access the data contained in database.

DBMS act as an interface b/w user and database.

But then how does it create an interface between database and a database application, and what is database application?

The DBMS is the interface (in other word like as bridge) between user that uses the database application and the database.

"DBMS IS A COLLECTION OF PROGRAMS THAT ENABLE USERS TO CREATE AND MAINTAIN A DATABASE" i.e. act as a interface between database application and database.
