Database management involves the design, implementation, and maintenance of databases, which are organized collections of data that can be easily accessed, manipulated, and updated. This field encompasses various aspects of data management, including data modeling, data storage, data retrieval, data security, and data governance. Database management systems (DBMS) are software applications that enable users to interact with databases and perform tasks such as querying data, generating reports, and managing transactions. Effective database management is essential for ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and integrity of data, as well as optimizing the performance of database systems.
