10. Types of DBMS Users

Types of DBMS Users:-

Different people use the database in different ways. Let’s look at the three main types:

1. 🛠️ DBA – Database Administrator

• The boss of the database.
• Manages the whole system — setup, security, backups, and updates.
• Controls who can access what.

🟢 Example:
A school’s DBA decides which teacher can see student marks and who can edit them.

2. 💻Application Programmer

• Writes programs and apps that connect to the database.
• Uses languages like Java, Python, or PHP to build portals and tools.

🟢 Example:
A programmer creates a student login system that fetches data from the database.

3. 👩‍🎓End Users

• These are the regular users who use the database through apps or websites.
• They don’t manage or build — they just view, enter, or update data.

🟢 Example:
StudUents checking their marks or teachers entering attendance.
