Database System concepts

A database is an organized collection of data. The data is typically organized to model relevant aspects of reality (for example, the availability of rooms in hotels), in a way that supports processes requiring this information (for example, finding a hotel with vacancies).

Database management systems (DBMSs) are specially designed applications that interact with the user, other applications, and the database itself to capture and analyze data.
