Set of programs and utilities for organizing and manipulating the information in a database.
Software which allows data attributes to be stored in files which are related (linked) to each other so as to reduce data redundancy, minimize storage and maximize searches.
a system that manages the access to, use of, and storage of data.
A type of software program used to create, maintain, and access databases.
Software designed to manipulate the information in a database. It can create, sort, display selected information, search for specific information, and perform many other tasks of a database. This kind of software allows speed of access and the ability to automatically produce reports.
A program that organizes data in a database, providing information storage, organization, and retrieval capacities.
Software used to create, maintain, retrieve, and produce reports about information kept in databases.
A layer of software between the physical database and the user. The DBMS manages all requests for database action (for example, queries or updates) from the user. Thus, the user is spared the necessity of keeping track of the physical details of file locations and formats, indexing schemes, and so on. In addition, a DBMS may permit centralized control of security and data-integrity requirements.
A systematic approach to maintaining, accessing, reporting, and analyzing attribute data. GIS packages may use DBMS to handle some data management tasks.
"... can be defined as a software package that provides all data management facilities for database creation, retrieval, manipulation, and maintenance of databases". Su, Database Computers, p20.
Software used to organize, analyze, and modify information stored in a database. Microsoft SQL Server is an example of a database management system. .
Software and data storage facility which organizes and manages data storage, structure, access, and security. Can either be relational or non-relational.
Synonym for database manager.
A program such as Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle that manages stores of information (databases).
Program or series of programs that create, modify and control access to information in a database.
A program (sometimes called a database manager) that allows multiple users within a system to store and access information in a database. The system maintains the integrity of the data (its availability and organization) and permits only those with access privileges to use it.
a software system that facilitates the creation and maintenance and use of an electronic database
A layer of software between the physical database and the user. The DBMS manages all access to the database. An OLE DB data provider can be built directly on top of a DBMS or as a layer between the DBMS and the data consumer.
Software designed to access and structure a database.
A set of programs that provide for the input, retrieval, formatting, modification, output, transfer, and maintenance of information in a database.
a software application that enables you to create and manipulate data in the form of databases.
a set of computer programs that controls the creation, maintenance and utilization of the databases of an organization
Software specifically designed to store, manipulate and access information held on a computer. Key features are the use of schemas to define the structure of the data held and the provision of software interfaces to facilitate (and standardize) interaction with the stored information. In a computer database system, all data is held in some physical form known as ‘database’. Access to the data is controlled by software known as the DBMS; it is the DBMS that ‘knows’ where and in what physical format the data is stored. The DBMS itself is accessed - for adding, updating, querying and deleting data - by a database language such as SQL.
1. The software for managing and manipulating the whole GIS including the graphic and tabular data. 2. Often used to describe the software for managing (e.g., input, verify, store, retrieve, query, and manipulate) the tabular information. Many GISs use a DBMS made by another software vendor, and the GIS interfaces with that software.
Collection of software for organizing the information in a database which might contain routines for data input, verification, storage, retrieval, and combination.
Complex set of programs that control the organization, storage and retrieval of data for many users. Data is organized in fields, records and files. Examples include Oracle, Sybase, and Datacom.
Computerized management facilities that are used to store and manipulate data and to ensure privacy, recovery and integrity.
a collection of programs that allow users to create, maintain and manipulate a database.
A software package that enables end users or application programmers to share data. It provides a systematic method of creating, updating, retrieving, and storing information in a database (DB). DBMSs are generally also responsible for data integrity, data access control, and automated rollback, restart, and recovery.
A computer program for storing and manipulating data.
Strictly, a 'database' is just a collection of 'data', and a Database Management System (DBMS) is a program which operates on the data in the database. The term `database' is sometimes used where 'Database Management System' is intended. Common database packages include Access and FileMaker.
Set of programs designed to organize, store and retrieve machine-readable information from a computer-maintained database or data bank.
Permits you to create a database, and then edit and manipulate its elements.
Software used to manage a database. Microsoft Access, FoxPro, SQL Server and Oracle are examples of DBMS software packages. There are three main types of database - relational databases, hierarchical databases and object oriented databases. Relational databases are the most popular at the moment. Microsoft Access is a relational DBMS.
an integrated software package that enables you to create and manipulate data in the form of databases.
Computer application program that accesses or manipulates the database.
A systematic approach to creating, maintaining, accessing, reporting, and analyzing attribute (alphanumeric or text) data.
A DBMS is a collection of computer programs and software for organizing the information in a database. A DBMS supports the structuring of the database in a standard format and provides tools for data input, verification, storage, retrieval, query, and manipulation.
A complex set of software programs that control the organization, storage and retrieval of data in a database. It also controls the security and integrity of the database.
("DBMS") computer program that manages data by providing the services of centralized control, data independence, and complex physical structure s for efficient access, integrity, recovery, concurrency control, privacy, and security. [D04819] RUP
The software designed for organizing data and providing the mechanism for storing, maintaining, and retrieving that data on a physical medium (i.e., a database). A DBMS separates data from the application programs and people who use the data and permits many different views of the data.
A software application system that is used to create, maintain, and provide controlled access to user databases.
Computer software used to manage a database.
Software used to create and maintain a database. Provides a layer of transparency between the physical data and application programs.
is a software system that provides the operations necessary to manage stored data in a database.
A software system that controls storing, combining, updating, retrieving, and displaying data records.
A software environment that structures and manipulates data, and ensures data security, recovery, and integrity.
IDMS/R-supplied object modules that perform database services such as physical database access database I/O, and space management functions.
A system for creating, maintaining, and accessing a collection of interrelated database records that may be processed by one or more applications without regard to physical storage. Oracle CODASYL DBMS establishes logical relationships among records. Data is described independently of application programs, providing ease in application development, data security, and data visibility. Oracle CODASYL DBMS is available under a separate license.
A program that is used to manage data.
software designed to access and structure a data base.
Systems that manage large structured sets of persistent data, offering ad hoc query facilities to many users. They are widely used in business applications: commercial examples include DB2, Oracle, SQL-Server, Sybase etc.
A software system used to access and retrieve data stored in a database. [NARA's Managing Electronic Records Instructional Guide
Software that allows you to create, access, and manage a database. 13.2, 13.12, 13.14, 14.20
A set of programs that allow other programs to access the database's files.Example: Rather than requiring all data entry professionals to know and understand programming languages, a company would choose to use a particular database management system that will allow it's employees to input data in an easily understood format, and then will “translate” that data into a format useable by the database files.
A database management system (DBMS) is computer software designed for the purpose of managing databases. Typical examples of DBMSs include Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, My SQL, and File Maker. DBMSs are typically used by Database administrators in the creation of Database systems.
