Database Management for the Drupal Content Management System

The Drupal Content Management System (CMS) can be used with an open-source relational database management system (DBMS) like MySQL as well as a proprietary DBMS like Microsoft SQL Server to build web applications. This type of database uses a query language called structured query language (SQL) to store, access, and modify data in the database. During Drupal installation, it creates a database structure in the selected database that is used to store the Drupal site’s dynamic content and configurations.  

Your database will be hosted in the cloud and managed by an experienced Database Administrator (DBA). This administration includes Administration includes registering and monitoring users, enforcing data security, monitoring performance, maintaining data integrity, dealing with concurrency control, and recovering information in case of system failures.  

The Drupal architecture consists of core themes and modules, custom themes and modules, translation and configurations files, and Drupal Core files. Drupal has several attractive features. One of which is the Taxonomy module which allows for multiple levels and types of categories for content types.
