Relational Database management System:

-According to E. F. Codd’s relational model, an RDBMS allows users to construct, update,

manage, and interact with a relational database, which stores data in a tabular form.

-Uses Structured Query Language (SQL) to access Database.

-Commonly used to perform CRUD (Create, read, update, and delete).

Difference Between RDBMS and DBMS:

-RDBMS is more advance version of DBMS.

-DBMS manages database present on the computer network and hard disks.

-An RDBMS helps maintain the relationship between its tables.

The following are some of the main differences between an RDBMS and a DBMS:

*Number of operators- DBMS allows only a single operator at a time, whereas multiple users
can operate an RDBMS concurrently.

*Hardware and software needs-DBMS utilizes less resources for data storage and retrieval as
compared to an RDBMS.

*Data Modification-Altering data in a DBMS is quite difficult, whereas you can easily modify
data in an RDBMS using an SQL query.

*Data volume- DBMS is more suitable for handling low data volume, whereas an RDBMS can
handle even large data volumes.

*Keys and Indexes-DBMS doesn’t involve keys and indexes, whereas an RDBMS specifies
relationship between data elements via keys and indexes.

*Data consistency- a DBMS does not follow the ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and
Durability) model, the data stored can have inconsistencies. Whereas, an RDBMS follows the
ACID model, which makes it structured and consistent.

*Database structure- DBMS stores data in a hierarchical structure, while an RDBMS stores
data in tables.

*Data fetching speed- DBMS data fetching is slow when the data is complex compared to
RDBMS due to the relational Approach.

*Distributed databases- DBMS doesn’t support distributed databases, whereas an RDBMS

offers full support for distributed databases.
*Client server architecture- Unlike a DBMS, an RDBMS supports client-server architecture.

Advantage of RDBMS:

*Enhanced Data Security

*Retain Data Consistency

*Better Flexibility and Scalability

*Easy Maintenance

*Reduced Risk of Errors
