The Database

Inside your DBMS are individual databases containing yet even more data related to a specific project. Although for most projects you would never need more than one database, you may in the future realize that your project has grown far beyond the scope of a single database—that because of security or maintenance reasons, you require more. Figure 26.3 shows SQL Server Enterprise Manager with a list of the various databases that are housed within its framework.
