Review the presentation and select at least three Database Management Systems (DBMS) from the given list.
Compare the DBMS using the guide below:
DBMS 1
Data In computer Programming, Data
Structure structure is a way of organizing
and storing data so as to ease
the accessing and modification
of data. There are various types
of data structures present for
storing the data and different
data structures have different
and unique features.
Some commonly used data
structures are Array, Linked List,
Stack, Queue, Heap, Binary Tree
and Graph.
Scalability A sustainable database and
database management system
(DBMS) must have scalability
elasticity availability concepts.
Since databases are business
investments, it makes sense for
organizations to want to grasp
essential database concepts so
they can make informed
purchasing decisions.
Unique Reduced amount of space and
Features money spent on storage

DBMS 2
The DBMS can offer both
logical and physical data
independence to protect users
and applications from having
to know where data is stored
or from being concerned
about changes to the physical
structure of data. So long as
programs use the application
programming interface (API)
for the database that the
DBMS provides, developers
won’t have to modify
programs just because
changes have been made to
the database.
A scalable system Is an
adaptable one. This is
important because workloads
change from time to time.
There are slow demands and
higher demands which may or
may not be predictable when
they occur. Higher workloads
require more processes
without slowing down the
system. A database or DBMS
that is scalable should be able
to grow with the company and
handle varying workloads.
Provides a High Level of Data
Security
DMBS 3
The DBMS provides a
centralized view of data that
can be accessed by multiple
users from multiple locations
in a controlled manner. A
DBMS can limit what data
end users see and how they
view the data, providing
many views of a single
database schema. End users
and software programs are
free from having to
understand where the data is
physically located or on what
type of storage medium it
resides because the DBMS
handles all requests
Understanding the concepts
of database scalability,
elasticity, and availability will
help organizations invest
wisely in their business
equipment. It helps them to
better serve their end users,
including staff and customers
with minimal downtime.
Additionally, as businesses
grow, horizontal scaling and
vertical scaling are tasks that
will likely be accomplished
throughout the life of an
organizational database.
Data Durability
 All database management
systems must save a large
amount of data. However,
proper data integration saves a
lot of space in the database
management system.
Companies spend a lot of
money to keep their data safe.
They will save money on data
storage and data entry if they
have managed data to store.
Major Data integrity is maintained:
Advantage Multiple files may have diverse
information about the particular
entity or person, which is called
data inconsistency.
If a database management
system (DBMS) minimizes data
redundancy, the database
management system
contributes to improved data
consistency.
The merging of several data files
into a singular file is facilitated
by data integrity. Data integrity
is feasible with DBMS, making it
much easier to reduce data
redundancy. Data integration
helps to reduce duplication and
discrepancies in data.
Learning Furthermore, with a database
Curve management system,
businesses can eliminate the
problems that occur with data
inconsistency, which happens if
multiple forms of the same data
exist in different locations. A
DBMS provides organizations a
complete, clear view into the
way data is shared, ensuring
there aren’t unnecessary copies
of data. Not to mention, A
