Database Management System

A database management system is a tool to record, manage, and organise information in a database. It offers various advantages:

A centralised location for storing data.
Different types of access to different users.
Provides an interface for the user to work with data.
Acts as a backup that can be accessed in case of accidental loss of data.

This A Level Computer Science module introduces database management system to your students, explaining:

Limitations of the file-based approach
Benefits of DBMS
DBMS software tools
Data Definition Language (DDL) vs. Data Manipulation Language (DML)
