Database Management
sometimes called database warehousing, a system for the smooth and efficient entering, storage, and retrieving of data so access to the information is gained by one of several methods. For example, a credit card company is able to access your account by entering your last name, your social security number, your birth date, maiden name, or actual account number. Database management is an industry unto itself under the even larger umbrella of information technology. There are a number of elaborate software systems available for the management of databases of all sizes.
