Database Management System (DBMS)

A Database Management System (DBMS) is software that helps users store, organize, and manage data efficiently. Think of it as a digital filing system where you can easily add, retrieve, and analyze information. Instead of dealing with raw data in spreadsheets or paper files, a DBMS offers tools to ensure data is structured, secure, and accessible. It enables multiple users to work with the data simultaneously while maintaining accuracy and consistency. Common examples include systems used by banks, hospitals, and online services to manage customer information and transactions effectively.
