7 Key Insights Into DBMS Architecture for Efficient Data Management


DBMS Architecture is a very fundamental part of managing databases in an orderly fashion and saves a lot of time and energy

A Database Management System (DBMS) Architecture is a blueprint that sets up the structure of a DBMS, which is the one responsible for collecting, retrieving, and controlling data in a structured manner

There are typically three types of DBMS architectures, which are Single-tier architecture, Two-tier architecture, and Three-tier architecture

In single-tier architecture, the client application talks to the database directly without any intervening layers

[{"selector":"#anim-643c566b-03e4-48f4-ad3b-894abdb13db5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -8.928571179351586%, 0) translate(0%, -25%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

The model of two-tier is usually that the client works with the user interface and application logic, while at the same time the database server is in charge of the data storage and retrieval

[{"selector":"#anim-c8830775-547e-468e-bda8-13101f789471 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -8.928571179351586%, 0) translate(0%, -25%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

The client (presentation layer) communicates with an intermediary application server (application layer) which then manipulates the database server (data layer) in the three-tier architecture

[{"selector":"#anim-2200ca81-c964-4508-ab1d-c6305a93bde2 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -8.928571179351586%, 0) translate(0%, -25%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]
