Database Management Systems—An Efficient, Effective, and Augmented Approach for Organizations

Abstract

Big and small firms, organizations, hospitals, schools, and other commercial offices are generating moderate to huge amounts of data regularly and need to constantly update and manage these data. These data are not only used at that instance, but generally, the retrospective analysis of data helps tremendously to improve the business strategies and the marketing trends. With time, these data may grow and become unmanageable if handled conventionally, like the file system. These factors resulted in the introduction of the terms database and database management system. Hierarchical, network, relational, and object-oriented approaches of DBMS are discussed in this paper. A highlight of the new-generation database approach called NoSQL is also included in this paper along with an insight into augmented data management. A model based on the database design for the Study in India Program is discussed. It is followed by a graphical user interface developed in Java for the same which ensures the ease of access to the database.
