Step 1: Understand what a DBMS is. A DBMS (Database Management System) is software that helps manage databases.
Step 2: Learn about the different architectures used in a DBMS. Common architectures include 1-tier, 2-tier, and 3-tier.
Step 3: Know that 1-tier architecture has everything in one layer, 2-tier separates the user interface from the database, and 3-tier adds an application layer in between.
Step 4: Realize that all these architectures are used to organize how users interact with the database, how the application processes data, and how data is stored.
Step 5: Conclude that the architecture chosen depends on the specific needs of the application and users.
