Confusion Database System and DBMS

Question

I was reading book "Database System Concepts" (6th edition by Henry F Korth Abraham Silberschatz, S Sudharshan

There is slight confusion between database system and DBMS Are both term same or different?

A database system is a collection of interrelated data and a set of programs that allow users to access and modify these data.

A database-management system (DBMS) is a collection of interrelated data and a set of programs to access those data.

What I understand--- A database system (DBMS) means a set of programs to access and modify data.

A database-management system (DBMS) means a set of programs to only access data.

Answer 1

Often the two terms are used interchangeably, so you may find Microsoft SQL Server or Postgres being referred to as either a DBMS or a database system.

Where a distinction is maintained "database system" usually refers to the overall application or set of applications that constitute a project. So for instance in the case of a business management suite that has a few applications which uses a few on-premises SQL Server databases for online storage, and has a data warehouse in some cloud database for reporting, and utilities for maintaining the warehouse and running reports; the application suite is a "database system" that itself uses one or more instances of one or more "database management systems" as part of its construction.

A "database system" in that respect might use several different database management systems in its design. A single application suite may use OLTP style stores for the main data, OLAP optimised stores for reporting, and NoSQL stores for "soft" supplementary data (and/or perhaps caching).
