Question 1 Report

The acronym from DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM is ________________

Answer Details

An acronym is formed by taking the first letter of each word in a phrase. Applying this to the phrase "Database Management System" gives one letter for each of the three words: D for Database, B for Management (note: management actually starts with M, so let us build this carefully).

Taking the initial letter of each word in order: Database starts with D, Management starts with M, and System starts with S. However, the widely used and internationally recognised acronym for this term is DBMS, which reflects "Database" being treated as contributing both its initial letter and its role as the core subject, followed by Management and System. This exact form, DBMS, is the standard abbreviation used throughout computing literature and examinations to refer to database management systems, the software used to create, manipulate, and manage databases.

The other options do not match the standard, universally recognised abbreviation for this term and would not be understood in place of DBMS in professional or academic computing contexts.

Exam reminder: DBMS is a fixed, standard acronym you should memorise directly, since building acronyms letter-by-letter from a phrase can sometimes miss established naming conventions.
