DBMS engine
1. Accepts logical requests from the various other DBMS
subsystems,
2. converts them into their physical equivalent, and
3. actually accesses the database and data dictionary as
they exist on a storage device such as a hard drive.
DBMS engine  Data definition subsystem  Data manipulation subsystem  Application generation

Data definition subsystem
helps you create and maintain the data dictionary and
define the structure of the files in a database.
In other words, the data definition subsystems allows you
to create and maintain the tables (relations), relationships
and constraints.
