Database Programs:

To create and maintain a computer database, you need a database program, often called a database management system, or DBMS. Just as databases programs, too, range in complexity.

Other database programs, called relational database programs or RDBMS, are designed to handle multi-file databases. FileMaker Pro is a relational database that’s easy to use and fairly inexpensive.

Database program tools:

A database program gives you the tools to:

Design the structure of your database.

Create data entry forms so you can get information into the database.

Validate the data entered and check for inconsistencies.

Sort and manipulate the data in the database.

Query the database (that is, ask questions about the data).

Using a database:

If mentions of programming languages make you feel you’re getting out of your depth, don’t worry! Most of the database programs you’re likely to encounter can be used at a variety of levels.
