Database Concepts for the Systems Analyst
Databases
- Database Architecture:
- Database architecture refers to the database technology including the database engine, database management utilities, database CASE tools for analysis and design, and database application development tools.
- The control center of a database architecture is its database management system.
- A database management system (DBMS) is specialized computer software available from computer vendors that is used to create, access, control, and manage the database. The core of the DBMS is often called its database engine. The engine responds to specific commands to create database structures, and then to create, read, update, and delete records in the database.
