The DBMS provides users and programmers with a systematic way to create, retrieve, update and manage  data .

These sites use a database management system (or  DBMS ), such as Microsoft Access, FileMaker Pro, or  MySQL  as the "back end" to the website. By storing website data in a database, the data can be easily searched, sorted, and updated. This flexibility is important for e-commerce sites and other types of  dynamic websites .

The application programs make use of the operating system by making requests for services through a defined application program interface ( API ). In addition, users can interact directly with the operating system through a user interface such as a command line or a graphical user interface ( GUI ). In a  multitasking  operating system where multiple programs can be running at the same time, the operating system determines which applications should run in what order and how much time should be allowed for each application before giving another application a turn. It manages the sharing of internal memory among multiple applications. It handles input and output to and from attached hardware devices, ...
