Abstract
The software that allows one or more persons to use, store, delete, modify
and retrieve data that is stored in a database is a Data Base Management
System (DBMS). Basic characteristics of DBMS are: Data Manipulation
Language (DML), Data Definition Language (DDL), Data Base Manager.
The author provides a schematic representation of a DBMS system and
mentions its components i.e. entity set, attributes / keys, and relationship.
The DBMS enables a user to create and update files, to select, retrieve and
sort data and to generate reports. Therefore, the DBMS is a vital part of the
information management in libraries.
