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.

A general-purpose DBMS is designed to allow the definition, creation, querying, update, and administration of databases.

Well-known DBMSs include:

  • MySQL
  • PostgreSQL
  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • Oracle
  • Sybase
  • IBM DB2
