Affordable VPS

I have been using shared hosting services from various providers and I thought it is time to use a virtual private server (VPS). I was told that Digital Ocean is a great option. So I did try Digital Ocean, and I wasn't disappointed. They have great service, and a fast server. It is also easy to add another VPS, and it is also easy to delete if you don't need it anymore. I've been using Digital Ocean's service for months now and I highly recommend it. For more information click here .

Difference between a Database and DBMS

Just finished my training and certification exam for an IBM academic evangelist. The training covered database fundamentals and DB2. There were other topics covered relating to databases and database management systems like SQL and XML, but I'd like to put more emphasis on database and DBMS or Database Management Systems. Although I have been practicing as a software developer and IT instructor, I have never taken any particular detail to the theories and concepts of databases, much more handle such subjects.

It provides an interface to access DATA.  DBMS or Database Management System is a software system. Whereas database provides a way to access data, DBMS provides a...
