A Database management system (DBMS) stores data in a flexible fashion, allowing applications to query and update it without having to worry how the data is preserved, or how the data is represented. A DBMS takes responsibility for the safety and integrity of the data, leaving application engineers free to concentrate on the interesting parts of their project that distinguish it from their competition.
