DBMS (Database Management System) – is a software system that manages, stores, and retrieves data efficiently in a structured format. (geeksforgeeks.org)

Explain this flow and provide an example: Data – Information- Knowledge - Wisdom

(A)  Data – Information- Knowledge – Wisdom is a model that explains how raw facts evolve into deep understanding and sound judgment. (geeksforgeeks.org)

Example:

·         Data: A student’s test scores are 78, 82, 92, 65, 88

·         Information – The student’s average is 80%
