Database Management
DATABASE-MANAGEMENT is the comprehensive practice of organizing, storing, and retrieving data efficiently using a DATABASE-MANAGEMENT-SYSTEM (DBMS). This discipline involves the creation of logical structures through DATA-MODELING and the maintenance of system performance via DATABASE-ADMINISTRATION. The foundation of traditional data storage is the RELATIONAL-DATABASE, a concept popularized by EDGAR-F-CODD, which utilizes SQL (Structured Query Language) for data manipulation. To ensure transaction reliability, these systems must strictly adhere to ACID-PROPERTIES. With the rise of BIG-DATA, many organizations have integrated NOSQL solutions and DISTRIBUTED-SYSTEMS to handle high-velocity and high-volume information. Technical documentation from industry leaders like Microsoft SQL Server and the PostgreSQL Global Development Group provide essential standards for modern implementation.
