 Trusted Database Management System Interpretation
Building or evaluating a system for compliance with the requirements of a particular class in the TCSEC is based on the perspective of the Trusted Computing Base (TCB).
For database management systems, the objects that store the base data of the database (e.g., files, records, relations, and tuples), as well as those objects that store the metadata (e.g., directories, indices, schemas, data dictionaries, discretionary authorization tables, recovery logs, and transaction logs), must be labeled.
Demonstrating that the candidate system meets the TCSEC requirements (as they apply to the target evaluation class) requires that both A and B be evaluated with respect to the local requirements of the target class and that the composite TCB be evaluated for global requirements.

 DBMS (Database Management System) (Linktionary term)
A DBMS is a software program that typically operates on a database server or mainframe system to manage structured data, accept queries from users, and respond to those queries.
The common language for accessing most database systems is SQL (Structured Query Language), which is discussed under the main SQL heading, "SQL (Structured Query Language)." Z39.50 is an open ANSI standard that allows database searching and information retrieval among networked systems.
Most databases are operational databases, meaning that data going into the database is used in real time to support the ongoing activities of a business.
