Database management systems (DBMSs) have played an outsized role in the history of software
development and in the creation and growth of the software products industry.The evolution of
DBMS was brought on through the development by corporate giants like GE and IBM. 1960's-
1970's: The emergence of the first type of DBMS, the hierarchical DBMS. IBM had the first
model, developed on IBM 360 and their (DBMS) was called IMS, originally it was written for
the Apollo program.In the early years of computing, a punch card was used in unit record
machines for input, data storage and processing this data. Data was entered offline and for
both data, and computer programs input. This input method is similar to voting machines
nowadays

2. reasons for using/ needing database

http://www.ask.com/question/why-use-a-database

There is a reason why we use database. There is a sense of compactness, since there is no use of
paper, speed because the computer can restore the stored Data Base very fast than the normal human
manual hand can do, less drudgery because the computer does everything for you and currency will be
more specific since you?re using Data Base information.

3.relation of information system withdatabase

In the Center for Database and Information Systems (DIS), we progress and extend todays
data management technologies to support the extraction and exploitation of information from real-
world data. Our methods include fundamental research, system development, and empirical
evaluation.

4.kinds/forms of database
A database form corresponds to a standard OpenOffice.org form. In addition to the standard
properties, the following database-specific properties must also be set in the form:
DataSourceName (String)
name of data source (refer to Database Access; the data source must be globally created in
OpenOffice.org)
Command (String)
name of table, query, or the SQL select command to which a link is to be made
CommandType (Const)
specifies whether the Command is a table, a query or a SQL command (value from
com.sun.star.sdb.CommandType enumeration)

The com.sun.star.sdb.CommandType enumeration covers the following values:

TABLE
Table
QUERY
 Query
COMMAND
SQL command

The database fields are assigned to the individual control elements through this
property:

DataField (String)
name of linked database field

Tables
Another control element is provided for work with databases, the table control
element. This represents the content of a complete database table or query. In the
simplest scenario, a table control element is linked to a database using the
autopilot form, which links all columns with the relevant database fields in
accordance with the user specifications.

A Form is made up of one or more fields that allow the user to enter information
(like text fields, text area fields, drop-down menus, radio buttons, check-boxes,
etc.). A simple application like a "Contacts List" will have just one Contact Form to
enter the Name, Address, Email id and so on. A more complex application like
"Project Tracker" will have many Forms for adding new projects, team-member
details, to-do list and so on. A simple Form created in Zoho Creator is shown
below:
