Lab No:01 Title:: Introduction To Database and Tool Usage

This document introduces databases and database management systems. It explains that a database is a collection of related data that can vary in complexity and size. A DBMS is used to organize, structure, store, and access data, while providing security through user authorization. The objective of a DBMS is to optimize storage and retrieval of large amounts of data. The lab task is to create a database called "comsats" and add tables for faculty, courses, and bands with fields for information about each. Updates are made to band prices and a new band is added.

similar schemes.

Objective of DBMS:
Database management systems are basically developed for large amount of data. When dealing
with huge amount of data, there are two things that require optimization.
 Storage of data
 Retrieval of data
