International Journal of Advanced Computer Research · 2021
Database Management System (DBMS) is the basic course in any undergraduate / postgraduate courses for Computer science/computer engineering degrees.All the computer science courses demand practical handson in the subject, which is performed in laboratory hours.Database management systems are mainly classified as divided into two categories Commercial Database Systems and Open Source Database systems.Proprietary database systems come with a huge license cost, and hence nowadays almost all the educational/research bodies are moving towards Open Source Database systems.However, all these open source database systems are designed with enterprise or business considerations.There is hardly any open source database system which has Academic or Research considerations.Peters and Sikorski [1] mention in their article that the researchers who wish to test new concepts are forced to build the entire system from scratch.
