Everyone must have heard the word database but does not know the true meaning of a database. Databse literally means a place or a container of data, the term database means a collection of information stored on the computer in a systematic way so that it can be checked using a computer program to obtain information from the database.
From the above explanation, we will draw a conclusion that the database is a container that will store data or record.
Now you have to know the meaning of the term database as a language as well, so now we'll find out where the word derived database
Origin of term Database
The term "database" originated from computer science. Although that is more extensive then, put things outside the field of electronics, I am posting this on a computer database. Note that similar to the actual database already existed before the industrial revolution in the form of ledgers, receipts and collection of data relating to the business.
Basic Concepts of Database
The basic concept of the database is a collection of records, or pieces of knowledge. A database has structured explanation of the types of facts stored in it: this is called schema explanation. Schema describes a database object that is represented, and the relationships among these objects. There are many ways to organize the scheme, or modeling the database structure: this is known as a database model or data model. Models commonly used today is the relational model, which, according to a term that is representative of all the information in the form of tables which are interconnected with each table consists of rows and columns.
There are dozens maybe even hundreds of software DBMS (Database Management System) which is available. Each has its own specifications. Starting from the
very simple to the most complex. In this section we will
discuss the 5 pieces of DBMS is quite familiar among users of a DBMS, which
Microsoft Access, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, posgresql, and Oracle.
I will explain one DBMS programming that I know that Mysql
Mysql
MySQL is a SQL-DBMS is multi-user and multi-threaded. MySQL runs as a server that serves multiple users to access a database. This extremely popular DBMS in the world of web-based applications as a component database. Besides being available in the free version, the popularity of MySQL is also greatly influenced by the popular Apache web server and PHP programming language. Terms such as LAMP (Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP/Perl/Python), MAMP (Mac-Apache-MySQL-PHP/Perl/Python and WAMP (Windows-Apache-MySQL-PHP/Perl/Python became very famous.
Lots of web-based applications are built using a combination of software. WordPress, Drupal, Mambo, Wikipedia, PHP-Nuke, a few examples of web-based applications that use this combination. Unlike Microsoft Access, the default installation of MySQL does not provide a GUI for users to interact with the database. Users can interact with clients who use text-based perintahperintah. But today has a lot of GUI that was developed to facilitate interaction with the database, whether it be stand-alone applications (such as MySQL-Front, MySQL-GUI, etc.) or based
web (for example, phpMyAdmin). Even by the use of MyODBC, MySQL can be accessed by the GUI of Microsoft Access as a database that is compatible with other ODBC.
