A database is an organized collection of data. The data is typically organized to model a real-world problem.

Database management systems (DBMS) are computer software applications that interact with the user, other applications, and the database itself to capture and analyze data.

Well-known DBMSs include:

  • MySQL
  • PostgreSQL
