This chapter discusses database management and discusses key concepts such as: 1. The functions of database management systems (DBMS) and how they allow users to access, retrieve, and use organized data. 2. The differences between file processing systems and database approaches, with databases allowing shared data across programs and users. 3. Popular database models including relational, object-oriented, and multidimensional databases and how they organize data differently. 4.
