In DBMS (Database Management System), attributes are the properties or characteristics of an entity that define its data. Each attribute holds a value that represents a specific detail about an entity in a database table. For example, in a Student table, attributes could include Student_ID, Name, Age, and Address.
Attributes are typically defined with specific data types (e.g., INTEGER, VARCHAR) and may have constraints (e.g., NOT NULL) to enforce data integrity.
