<P> A database is an organized collection of data . A relational database, more restrictively, is a collection of schemas, tables, queries, reports, views, and other elements . Database designers typically organize the data to model aspects of reality in a way that supports processes requiring information, such as (for example) modelling the availability of rooms in hotels in a way that supports finding a hotel with vacancies . </P> <P> A database - management system (DBMS) is a computer - software application that interacts with end - users, other applications, and the database itself to capture and analyze data . A general - purpose DBMS allows the definition, creation, querying, update, and administration of databases . </P> <P> A database is not generally portable across different DBMSs, but different DBMSs can interoperate by using standards such as SQL and ODBC or JDBC to allow a single application to work with more than one DBMS . Computer scientists may classify database - management systems according to the database models that they support; the most popular database systems since the 1980s have all supported the relational model - generally associated with the SQL language . Sometimes a DBMS is loosely referred to as a "database". </P>
