The application needs a data manager to manage its data.
The data manager is a convenient place to put the persistence
feature, if it is needed.



Persistence is not a necessary feature for a dbms.



If a system provides only persistence, it is not a dbms.



Thus, persistence is neither necessary nor sufficient
to define a dbms.



If one thinks that what a dbms does is provide persistence,
one has not yet begun to understand the role of a dbms.
