Dear Aspirant,

First you should be familiar with the concept of Database.

Database is a collection of interrelated data which helps in efficient retrieval, insertion and deletion of data from database and organizes the data in the form of tables, views, schemas, reports etc. For Example, university database organizes the data about students, faculty, and admin staff etc. which helps in efficient retrieval, insertion and deletion of data from it.

The software which is used to manage database is called Database Management System (DBMS). For Example, MySQL, Oracle etc. are popular commercial DBMS used in different applications. It consists of a group of programs which manipulate the database and provide an interface between the database. It includes the user of the database and other application programs.

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.

Hope this helps. You could learn more about them on the following sites like geeksforgeeks, tutorialpoints, etc.

Thank you.
