Schema: A structured framework or blueprint describing how data is organized and managed within a database. It defines the tables, fields, relationships, constraints, and other elements of a database, acting as a roadmap for how data is stored and accessed. Schemas are critical for maintaining data integrity, enabling efficient data retrieval and modification, and ensuring that the database structure supports the needs of the applications that interact with it.
