A database management system (DBMS) is a collection of interrelated data and a set of programs to access those data .
The collection of data, usually referred to as the database, contains information relevant to an enterprise .
The primary goal of a DBMS is to provide a way to store and retrieve database information that is both convenient and efficient .
Database systems are designed to manage large bodies of information .
Management of data involves both defining structures for storage of information and providing mechanisms for the manipulation of information .
In addition , the database system must ensure the safety of the information stored , despite system crashes or attempts at unauthorized access .
The DBMS must be able to accept data definitions in source form and must be efficient to convert it into appropriate object form.
Generally a DBMS handles requests to retrieve , update , or delete existing data in the database or add new data to the database .
