The document discusses advance database management systems. It defines a database as a collection of related data representing some aspect of the real world. It also defines a database management system (DBMS) as software that stores and retrieves user data while providing security measures. A DBMS includes a group of programs that manipulate the database and provides an interface between data and application programs. It also gives examples of common databases like one for a university that stores student, course, grade and tutor information. Finally, it outlines key characteristics of a DBMS like providing security, supporting multiple views and a multi-user environment.

Introduction
Database: A database is a collection of related data which represents some aspect of the real world. A
database system is designed to be built and populated with data for a certain task.

Database Management System (DBMS) is a software for storing and retrieving users' data while
considering appropriate security measures. It consists of a group of programs which manipulate the
database. The DBMS accepts the request for data from an application and instructs the operating system
to provide the specific data. In large systems, a DBMS helps users and other third-party software to store
and retrieve data.
• DBMS allows users to create their own databases as per their requirement. The term “DBMS”
includes the user of the database and other application programs. It provides an interface between
the data and the software application.for data from an application and instructs the operating

Example of a university database:

• The STUDENT file stores data of each student

• The COURSE file stores contain data on each course.

• The SECTION stores the information about sections in a particular course.

• ·The GRADE file stores the grades which students receive in the various sections

• The TUTOR file contains information about each professor.


Characteristics of Database Management
System
· Provides security and removes redundancy

· Self-describing nature of a database system

· Insulation between programs and data abstraction

· Support of multiple views of the data

· Sharing of data and multiuser transaction processing

· DBMS allows entities and relations among them to form tables.

· It follows the ACID concept (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability).

· DBMS supports multi-user environment that allows users to access and manipulate data in parallel.
