IMS DB Tutorial



Introduction -

IMS DB stands for Information Management System Database, developed by IBM. It is a hierarchical database management system (DBMS) that stores data in a tree-like structure, making it ideal for handling large volumes of data efficiently.

Unlike relational databases (like MySQL or Oracle), which use tables, IMS organizes data in segments, with each segment potentially having multiple child segments. This structure resembles a family tree.
