The name is a three-letter acronym for DataBase Manager, and can also refer to the family of database engines with APIs and features derived from the original dbm. The dbm library stores arbitrary data by use of a single key (a primary key ) in fixed-size buckets and uses hashing techniques to enable fast retrieval of the data by key.
Formally, a "database" refers to a set of related data accessed through the use of a "database management system" (DBMS), which is an integrated set of computer software that allows users to interact with one or more databases and provides access to all of the data contained in the database (although restrictions may exist that limit access to particular data).

Files are similar to tables in a relational database in that each file has a unique name to distinguish it from other files and zero to multiple unique records that are logically related to each other. Files are made of two parts: a data file and a file dictionary (DICT). The data file contains records that store the actual data.
It is composed of multiple database files, all controlled by a central DBMS. The main differences between centralized and distributed databases arise due to their respective basic characteristics. Differences include but are not limited to: Centralized databases store data on a single CPU bound to a single certain physical/geographical location.
IDMS organizes its databases as a series of files. These files are mapped and pre-formatted into so-called areas. The areas are subdivided into pages which correspond to physical blocks on the disk. The database records are stored within these blocks. The DBA allocates a fixed number of pages in a file for each area.
