Database engine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A database engine is the underlying component that a Database Management System (DBMS) uses to create, retrieve, update and delete (CRUD) data from a database. One may command the database engine via the DBMS's own user interface, and sometimes through a network port.
