Introduction to Database Management System (DBMS)

Have you ever wondered how your favourite apps and websites—such as Facebook, Instagram, and Spotify manage to store and handle massive amounts of user data, often running into millions of records?
At first glance, it might seem like this data is simply stored in files. However, the reality is far more complex. Performing millions of CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations simultaneously on traditional files is inefficient, difficult to manage, and prone to errors. This is where a Database Management System (DBMS) comes into play, providing a structured, secure, and efficient way to store, manage, and retrieve large volumes of data.

Meaning

Database Management System (DBMS) can be broken down into two parts which are :

• Database
• Management System

Before knowing about database let us first know about Data which is collection of raw facts, figures, statistics etc.
