BSc IT - Database Management System

In a DBMS (Database Management System) , data  refers to the raw values, facts, or figures stored in tables, like names, IDs, numbers, or dates. It is the basic building block and doesn’t have much meaning by itself. On the other hand, information  is the result of processing and organizing that data in a meaningful way. For example, a table may store data like student IDs and marks (data ), but when you calculate and display a student's grade based on those marks, it becomes information . In short, data is what goes into the database, and information is what comes out to be used for decision-making or understanding .
