Database What Is a Database?
A database by definition is a collection of data records organized in a relational data structure which makes them capable of being replicated, retrieved and analyzed in a myriad of applications or use cases. The majority of databases in use today are based on relational technology, with the minority relying on object-oriented schema (Velicanu, Litan, Vîrgolici, 2010). Object-oriented databases, due to their data structures, are more attuned to the specific needs of the engineering and scientific community (Jadhao, Bamnote, 2012). Databases has progressed rapidly in the last decade, including advanced Structural Query Language (SQL) support, great Business Intelligence (BI), analytics and support for Big Data initiatives (Velicanu, Litan, Vîrgolici, 2010).
A Database Management systems (DBMS) differs from a database in that the latter is a single enterprise application typically and a DBMS is a collection or set of programs that are combined to capture, analyze, modify and report data (Ahlswede, Aydinian, 2011). Database management systems are often designed for a highly specific purpose in a business or organization. While there are many different structures inherent in the definition, implementation and use of a DBMS, the most common structures are flat, hierarchical, relational and network-based (Velicanu, Litan, Vîrgolici, 2010). These network architectures are deliberately designed to ensure the analysis, data and results achieved with these systems are directly applicable to specific business strategies, objectives, needs of the business and its many stakeholders (Ulusoy, 1998). DBMS systems are also designed to support more advanced (Kinsley, Hughes, 1988).
