Characteristic Own Explanation

Consistency There are ways and approaches for
detecting attempts to leave a database in
an inconsistent state.
When opposed to prior kinds of data
storage applications such as file-
processing systems, a DBMS can give
higher consistency.
Isolation of data and application A database is an active entity, whereas
data, on which the database works and
organizes, is considered to be passive.
To facilitate its own process, DBMS
saves metadata, which is data about
data.
Query Language To extract a collection of data, a user can
utilize as many and as diverse filtering
choices as needed.
Previously, it was not possible where a
file-processing system was utilized.
Multiple views A user in the Sales department will see
the database differently from a user in the
Production department.
This feature allows users to get a focused
view of the database based on their
needs.
Security DBMS provides ways for imposing
limitations while putting data into the
database and retrieving it afterwards.
DBMS provides several degrees of
security, allowing multiple users to have
distinct views with different functionalities.
A user in the Sales department, for
example, cannot see data belonging to
the Purchase department.
It is also possible to control how much
data from the Sales department is
presented to the user.
Because a DBMS is not kept on disk like
traditional file systems, it is extremely
difficult for hackers to crack the coding.
