Need for DBMS
Difficulty Level : Easy
A Data Base Management System is a system software for easy, efficient and reliable data processing and management. It can be used for:
Creation of a database.
Retrieval of information from the database.
Updating the database.
Managing a database.
It provides us with the many functionalities and is more advantageous than the traditional file system in many ways listed below:
1) Processing Queries and Object Management:
In traditional file systems, we cannot store data in the form of objects. In practical-world applications, data is stored in objects and not files. So in a file system, some application software maps the data stored in files to objects so that can be used further.
We can directly store data in the form of objects in a database management system. Application level code needs to be written to handle, store and scan through the data in a file system whereas a DBMS gives us the ability to query the database.
