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. πŸ› οΈ DBA – Database Administrator

  • The boss of the database.
  • Manages the whole system β€” 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. πŸ’»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. πŸ‘©β€πŸŽ“End Users

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

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