1 introduction to RDBMS-1

RDBMS stands for Relational Database Management Systems, which include modern systems like SQL, Oracle, and My-SQL based on E.F. Codd's relational model. Key features of RDBMS include accessibility via SQL, data independence, and the use of tables for data storage, allowing for operations like joins and data sharing while maintaining consistency through integrity constraints. The basic unit of data in RDBMS is a table, consisting of rows and columns.

What is RDBMS

• RDBMS stands for Relational Database Management Systems..

• All modern database management systems like SQL, MS SQL

Server, IBM DB2, ORACLE, My-SQL and Microsoft Access are

based on RDBMS.

• It is called Relational Data Base Management System (RDBMS)

because it is based on relational model introduced by E.F. Codd.


Features of RDBMS
• An RDBMS is easily accessible using SQL commands.
• An RDBMS provides full data independence.
• The basic unit of data storage in a relational database is
called a table.
• A table consists of tuples/rows/records and each record
has one or more columns used to store values.
• In RDBMS, we can use conditional operations such as
joins and restrictions.
• An RDBMS enables data sharing between users.
• Also at the same time, you can ensure consistency of data
across multiple tables by using integrity constraints.
