The report is about comparing 4-Database Management Systems MySQL,

SQLite, Oracle, and Cassandra (NoSQL).
DBMS is a collection of programs used for managing data and at the same
time, it supports different types of users to create, manage, retrieve, update
and store information. There are many DBMS but only mentioned four
types will be comparing on this report.

Comparison between four Database Management Systems:

Conclusion:
For SQL databases, MySQL is best in the open-source database system. However, In terms of
software, Oracle is the more powerful one because of its extra features over the basic MySQL.
Cassandra is another lightweight and open-source database. Although Cassandra is flexible
and useful, it also does not follow standard SQL practices.
In conclusion, MYSQL is better DBMS then other mentioned DBMS’S.
