A database is the collection of information with an organized way in a computer system. A database management system (DBMS) controls the database. So there are different types of databases for storing information in a computer system. Today we\u2019ll discuss them in brief.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are different types of databases depending upon the usage. Let\u2019s discuss them one by one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Centralized Database<\/span><\/h2>\n

Here the data is at a centralized location, and other users can access it from different locations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Distributed Database<\/span><\/h2>\n

Unlike a centralized database, there is a distribution of data at various sites of an organization. There are two types of distributed databases: homogenous and heterogeneous.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Personal Database<\/span><\/h2>\n

The data is manageable as the collection of data is on personal computers. Thus it is accessible for a small group of people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

End-user Database<\/span><\/h2>\n

This database is not concerned about the transactions and operations at various levels. However, it is aware of the product.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Commercial Database<\/span><\/h2>\n

This type of database is like a paid version of huge databases. The database aims to provide information to users.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

NoSQL Database<\/span><\/h2>\n

NoSQL database is useful for large sets of distributed data. This database manages data performance issues.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Operational Database<\/span><\/h2>\n

The operational database creates large amounts of data in real-time. This technology supports speed, availability of data integrity, or concurrency. Some examples of the operational database:<\/span><\/p>\n
