Historically, Database Management systems (DBMS) were simple software programs and associated hardware that allowed users to access data from different geographical locations. The system offers its users the ability to store data without concerns about structural changes, or the data’s physical location. Additionally, a Database Management system (DBMS) can set restrictions on the data being used, and the services available to each user.
DBMSs are changing, however. They are expanding, taking on more responsibilities, and providing smarter answers. As new goals and problems present themselves, the desire to find new ways to use Database Management systems prompt unique solutions. Many of these innovations are available only in cloud-based DBMSs.
