Managing databases can be challenging for non-technical users due to complex interfaces and cumbersome file-handling processes. Existing database management systems (DBMS) such as the ObjectOriented SGML/HYTime Compliant Multimedia DBMS and CRIUS have attempted to address these challenges by providing structured data management and user-friendly interfaces for non technical users. However, some require knowledge of object-oriented programming or lack integrated file-handling capabilities. This paper introduces Doxa, a user-friendly, web-based document-oriented database management system with integrated file handling, designed to simplify data and file management for users of all technical backgrounds. The paper is structured into Introduction, Literature Review, Methodology, Results and Discussion, and Conclusion, covering system requirements definition, design, implementation, testing, and cloud deployment. The developed application features a streamlined interface with simplified file viewing, upload, and download functionality, making it highly accessible. By addressing the limitations of existing database management systems, this paper aims to bridge the gap between complex database systems and non-technical users, ensuring accessible and efficient data management for a broader audience.
