A Database Server is a machine running database software dedicated to providing database services. It is a crucial component in the client-server computing environment where it provides business-critical information requested by the client systems.
A Database Server consists of hardware and software that run a database.
The software side of a database server, or the database instance, is the back-end database application.
The application represents a set of memory structures and background processes accessing a set of database files.
The hardware side of a database server is the server system used for database storage and retrieval.
Database workloads require a large storage capacity and high memory density to process data efficiently. These requirements mean that the machine hosting the database is usually a dedicated high-end computer.
Database servers shine in a client-server architecture, where the clients frequently process data.
Database servers carry out the constraints specified within the DBMS (database management system). The server controls and manages all the clients connected to it and handles all database access and control requests.
Database servers provide a multi-user environment where many users can access the database simultaneously while maintaining security and hiding the DBMS from the clients.
Some organizations use database servers as a much more efficient solution compared to file servers.
A Database Server provides better performance compared to Access database alone. Database server also offers support for large TB-sized databases, which are over 500 X bigger than Access Database files’ current limit of (2 GB). It also works efficiently while processing parallel queries and while minimizing other memory requirements, whenever more users are added to the network.
Users can create backups for their databases using database server, even when it is being used. Hence, you don’t have to waste time and ask users to close the database, whenever they want to create backups. It also works efficiently with record locking and concurrent editing.
The database server has a robust security system that prevents your data from being used by the unauthorized users. Database server also runs through an account-based security that allows users to limit the visibility of tables. Account-based security completely prevents your database from being accessed by unauthorized users.
Database server also offers an effective automatic recovery option. So, in case you face a system failure while working on a database server, it will automatically recover your precious data to its last state of consistency without any hassle. Users don’t require any database administrator intervention to perform the task to recover mdb or accdb databases.
Using Access for server/client configuration helps in reducing the network traffic, by instantly processing database queries before returning to the client with the results. Processing works better in server, especially if you are working on a large set of data.
