Database software, also known as a database management system (DBS), is a program used to create, manage and maintain databases hosted on hardware servers or in the cloud. It’s primarily used for storing, modifying, extracting and searching for information within a database. Database software is also used to implement cybersecurity measures to protect against malware, viruses and other security threats.
Most database software includes a graphical user interface (GUI) consisting of structured fields and tabular forms that give users a centralized view of the data present in a database and the tools to manipulate and query it. Structured Query Language (SQL) commands are also typically used to interact with databases through the software. Administrators input SQL queries to prompt the system to perform an action, such as retrieving a specific set of data. However, there are also databases that use other means for retrieving information in addition to SQL.
HISTORY OF DATABASE SOFTWARE
Charles W. Bachman developed what is considered to be the first database software management system in 1960. At the time it was called the Integrated Database system. IBM quickly saw the value of a program that could easily access and pull information from a database and set out to make their own. Soon after, they developed the IBM IMS (information management system). These two programs are largely considered to be the forerunners of modern database management software.
As more companies tried to follow suit, the market became flooded with general use databases that lacked standard functionality. As a result, Bachman formed the Database Task Group in the early 1970s to create a standard for this software that manifested as the Common Business Oriented Language (COBOL). However, these systems were still complex and required substantial training to manage
