What are the elements of a database management system?

In: Computer Terminology, MySQL [Edit categories]

Answer:

I believe this is what you are looking for, but I could be wrong.

The database schema
Schema objects
Indexes
Tables
Fields and columns
Records and rows
Keys
Relationships
Data types

Keep in mind this is from start to finish, you may just be looking for, the tables, fields and columns, records and rows, keys and relationships. Those are what I mainly use to control what I create in databases. The schema is more of the design layout.
