A database system is a collection of software and technologies that are used to store, manage, and analyze data. A database system typically includes a database management system (DBMS), which is the main software component that controls access to and manipulation of the data, and a database, which is the data itself, organized and stored in a structured format. A database system can be used to store a wide variety of data, including text, numbers, images, and other types of data. Database systems are an essential component of many applications and systems, and are used in a wide range of industries, including finance, healthcare, government, and more.
Types of Database Management Systems#
There are several different types of DBMS, and the specific type of DBMS that is used in a given situation will depend on the requirements and constraints of the application or system.
This is the most common type of DBMS, and it is based on the relational model of data. In a relational DBMS, data is organized into tables, and the tables are related to each other through the use of keys. Relational DBMSs are widely used for a range of applications, from simple, single-user applications to large-scale, enterprise-level systems. Examples of popular relational DBMSs include Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Database, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.

This type of DBMS is a non-relational, or ānot only SQL,ā DBMS that is designed to store and manage data in a more flexible and scalable way than a relational DBMS. NoSQL DBMSs can handle a wide variety of data types, including structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data, and they are often used for real-time web applications, big data analytics, and mobile apps. Examples of popular NoSQL DBMSs include Apache Cassandra, MongoDB, Couchbase, and Redis.

This type of DBMS is a type of DBMS that is designed to store and manage data in the form of a graph. In a graph DBMS, data is organized into nodes and edges, which represent the entities and relationships in the data. This allows for the efficient representation and querying of complex, multi-dimensional data structures, and for the discovery of patterns and connections in the data. Graph DBMSs are often used for applications that require the analysis of complex networks and relationships, such as social networks, recommendation systems, and fraud detection. Some examples of popular graph DBMSs include Neo4j and JanusGraph. Graph DBMSs are an important tool for data scientists and analysts who need to work with complex, interconnected data.

This type of DBMS is based on the object-oriented model of data, and it allows data to be stored and managed in the form of objects and classes. Object-oriented DBMSs are often used in applications that require the representation of complex data structures, such as multimedia or geographic data. Examples of popular object-oriented DBMSs include InterSystems IRIS and ObjectStore.
