-Self-describing nature of a database system: A DBMS catalog stores the description of the database. The description is called meta-data). This allows the DBMS software to work with different databases.
-Insulation between programs and data: Called program-data independence. Allows changing data storage structures and operations without having to change the DBMS access programs.
-Data Abstraction: A data model is used to hide storage details and present the users with a conceptual view of the database.
-Support of multiple views of the data: Each user may see a different view of the database, which describes only the data of interest to that user.
-Sharing of data and multi-user transaction processing : allowing a set of concurrent users to retrieve and to update the database. Concurrency control within the DBMS guarantees that each transaction is correctly executed or completely aborted.Online Transaction Processing is a major part of database applications.
