Database Management System (DBMS): A software system that uses a standard method of cataloging, retrieving, and running queries on data. The DBMS manages incoming data, organizes it, and provides ways for the data to be modified or extracted by users or other programs. DBMSs are a crucial tool for handling large amounts of data across different industries and are central to the fields of databases and information systems. Examples include relational databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Microsoft SQL Server, as well as NoSQL databases like MongoDB and Cassandra.
