Q1) What is DBMS and What are its functions ?

A database management system is a set of software programs that allows users to create, edit and update data in database files, and store and retrieve data from those database files. Data in a database can be added, deleted, changed, sorted or searched all using a DBMS. If you were an employee in a large organization, the information about you would likely be stored in different files that are linked together. One file about you would pertain to your skills and abilities, another file to your income tax status, another to your home and office address and telephone number, and another to your annual performance ratings. By cross-referencing these files, someone could change a person's address in one file and it would automatically be reflected in all the other files. DBMSs are commonly used to manage: Membership and subscription mailing lists Accounting and bookkeeping information The data obtained from scientific research Customer information Inventory information Personal records Library information

There are several functions that a DBMS performs to ensure data integrity and consistency of data in the database. The ten functions in the DBMS are: Data dictionary management Data storage management Data transformation and presentation Security management Multiuser access control Backup and recovery management Data integrity management Database access languages and application programming interfaces Database communication interfaces Transaction management.
