What is a Database What is RDBMS


What is a Database?

Database is designed to offer an organized mechanism for storing, managing and retrieving information. They do so through the use of table. If you’re familiar with spreadsheets like Microsoft Excel, you’re probably already accustomed to storing data in tabular form.

What is RDBMS?

A Relational database management system (RDBMS) is a database management system (DBMS) that is based on the relational model as introduced by E. F. Codd. Most popular commercial and open source databases currently in use are based on the relational model.
A short definition of an RDBMS may be a DBMS in which data is stored in the form of tables and the relationship among the data is also stored in the form of tables.
