Application Program:
An application program is a program that is’ used to send commands to the database management system to manipulate database. These commands are sent to the DBMS through graphical user interface. The user interacts with the application program and the application program further interacts with the database management system.
Relationship of Application Program and DBMS:
A database application is developed by using both application program and database management system. The application program contains the user interface. The user uses this interface for communicating with the database management system to manipulate database. The application program is also called the front-end and the database is known as back-end.
The relation of application program and database management system is very important. When you develop a database program, you need to provide a way of communication with the program for the user. The user cannot use the database directly. So an easy and simple interface is required so that the user can easily use the database.
Another important relationship of DBMS and application program is that you can produce effective and informative report in application programs. These reports are very important for any organization for taking different decision about the business.
