Database Interface, Database Platforms (BC-DB)

Software package that manages application access to data in a database.

A functioning R/3 System must have a database management system (DBMS) to control concurrent access to data, ensure consistency of the data, and so on. Examples of DBMSs for the R/3 System are ORACLE Server, INFORMIX-OnLine Dynamic Server, ADABAS Server, and DB2 Universal Database.
