Database Manager



A database management system (abbreviated as "DBMS") is a computer programme, or group of programmes, that offers fundamental database management functionalities like database creation and maintenance. Database managers can create, clone, delete, and rename databases in addition to backing them up and restoring them. They can also attach and detach databases.


Both local and remote databases are managed by database managers. They offer the ability to connect to any database on the network and find databases based on the Web server. They offer a few administrative features like running ad hoc queries and managing tables, views, and stored procedures.


Database administrators connect to the database and show data from the catalogues that make up the database. The ability to launch features and functions outside of the graphical user interface is available to DB managers using a series of command-line options. DB managers give database administrators the ability to create custom patches for databases or quickly implement vendor fixes, keeping databases updated and safe
