Database Management Systems are software programs that give you the ability to easily create and manage

databases. Relational Database Management Systems give you the ability to store related through multiple separate tables. While there are some database systems that are widely used because of their robust functionality, there are a variety of different Database Management Systems that have a variety of features. Make sure the DMS you chose offers the features you want by using the 'Features' filter on the left hand side. With 53 database management systems to choose from, we can help you find the best one for your needs. What to Look for in Database Management Systems: Key Features Features These features represent the functionality of the Database Management System.

ACID: All Database Management Systems (DMS) with this features follow the Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability properties that assure that that database is able to consistently process database transactions reliably through set logic requirements. Archive Storage Engines: Allow you to store large amounts of data while taking a small amount of space with no indexes. Encryption of Data: Data encryption allows you to protect your database information. High Availability: High Availability Database Management Systems with high availability have built in redundancies to ensure that your databases are always functioning. High Scalability: DMS software with high scalability is able to grow with the system using the DMS. High Scalability signifies that the Database Management System can handle both very very small databases as well as extremely large ones with ease, as well as everything in between. Multi-Core Support: Simply refers to the databases ability to function with multi-core processor systems. Multiple Threads: Allow you to create event driven applications that handle several asynchronous events. Object Oriented Architecture: A design feature that allows all components such as files or processes to be represented as data structures or objects so that they can be manipulated while maintaining their form. Open Source: Open source Database Management Systems give you license agreements which allow you to see and edit the code on which the systems are created, this gives you the ability to customize and change the functionality of the DMS. Parallel Processing: Represents the ability of the DMS to execute several separate operations at once. Features Options: ACID, Archive Storage Engines, Backup, Compression of Data, Convert from Old Relational Databases, Custom Functions, Database Imports, Drag and Drop, Encryption of Data, Export Data, Extensibility, High Availability, Highly Scalable, Import Data, Integrated Storage Manager, Internet Protocol Support, Java Support, Kiosk Maker, Multi-Core Support, Multiple Data Access Command Sets, Multiple Threads, ...
