Definition -- DBMS

Database Management System (DBMS)

Software that controls the organization, storage, retrieval, security and integrity* of data in a data base.

*Think of integrity like validity. Say there's database with information about products. If the 2 different products were entered into the system with the same name and id number the integrity of that information would be compromised.
