What happens databases Why do we need a database? Why should we read about the database?
There are also many terminology which …
Sometimes we do not understand E.g. RDBMS, MYSQL, SQL, QUERY All these things we are going to see in this video And that too in a very simple way. So let’s start What is the database, the simple data storage Any place where the data is stored, it is called a database OK ?
Difference between DBMS and RDBMS
In this article I’ll-briefly about the differences between DBMS and RDBMS. I’ll start with the overview of the DBMS and RDBMS and then list down the major differences between them.
To start with let us see about DBMS is an abbreviation which stands for database management system DBMS was introduced during nineteen sixties by several companies. Then it was standardised by Charls Bechman along with Codasil.
A-committee on data system languages It’s a management system used for controlling the databases in the computers or on a network The model introduced by codasil was called network model. during the same period IBM introduced its it’s own DBMS which followed an navigation model.
Both these models have not considered relationship between tables.
So fetching data from the-database was time-consuming, also data redundancy was very common. There are several companies in DBMS like external Interface, database language engine, query optimiser, database engine and management component.
The external interface is nothing but the user interface which are used to communicate with management component and the database.
The database language engine is the component which interprets the query language and do the necessary actions supplied by the query language.
The query optimizer is used to optimize the query language and Identify the best plan for executing the quarry to fetch the result as fast as it could. The database engine is used to create and manipulate the data in the database objects like the table.
The management component was used for taking database backups, performance monitoring, security management, etc.. Now we will see the various types of DBMS.
There are several types of DBMS including the RDBMS of course RDBMS is a subset of DBMS with relationship between tables and rows. During the introduction the navigation model was followed.
During the the 1970’s the relational database management system in short the RDBMS came into existence. We will see about RDBMS in detail later in this article.
Then came the OODBMS, that is the object oriented database management system, followed by the ORDBMS or the object relational database management systems.even before RDBMS there was Hierarchical DBMS.
It follows a hierarchical model which is based on the tree like structure of records.
That is, one record could have only one parent. The parent record can have one or many child records. The network model was also introduced before RDBMS.
It follows the concept of many to many relationship like a network.
Unlike the hierarchical model, in the network model, one record can have many parents and many child.
Now we briefly go over RDBMS.The abbreviation RDBMS stands for relational database management system.
It was introduced during the 1970’s As I mentioned earlier, RDBMS follows the relationship database model, in which the data is stored in multiple tables the tables are related to each other using primary key and foreign keys. The relational model follows the database normalization techniques to avoid redundancy in the tables.
The normalization technique helps the sql query to fetch the data from the tables faster than DBMS. RDBMS is currently the largest used database model. It is widely used by the enter prices and the developers for storing complex and large amount of data. Now let us see how the tables and records related in RDBMS model.
If you see this table relationship diagram, the user ID in the users table is considered as the primary key.
This primary key is used by the other tables like UserRelationships, UserRoles, UserRelationshipPreferences and user profile as foreign key column. Because of this primary key and foreign key relationship, one record in users table can be linked to many records on other tables. This is a simple representation of relationship between tables. With this, we have come to the final part of this article.
Now I will summarise everything I’ve talked so far asa table of differences between the DBMS and RDBMS. To start with DBMS was introduced during the 1960’s and RDBMS during the 1970’s.DBMS initially followed the navigational model of data-storage. Then evolved as a network model and hierarchical model.
RDBMS followed the relationship between tables in the form of keys and indexes. Because of the navigation model in DBMS fetching data is very slow for complex and large amount of data. On the other hand a data fetching its much faster in RDBMS because of the relationship between tables.
So DBMS is used for small applications and RDBMS for complex and enterprise application. Data redundancy is very common in DBMS leading to difficulty in maintaining the data. In RDBMS, keys and indexes are used to avoid redundancy. Some examples of DBMS are Dbase Microsoft Access. LibreOffice and FoxPro.

The topics that we are going to learn in today’s article are :
- What is RDBMS?
- How RDBMS works?
- DBMS verses RDBMS
So without wasting time lets start with today’s article. First we will see 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 EF Codd. During 1970 to 1972, EF Codd published a paper to propose the use of relational database model. RDBMS is originally based on that EF Codd’s relational model invention.
Now lets see how RDBMS works? Data is represented in terms of tuples (rows) in RDBMS. Relational database is most commonly used database. It contains number of tables and each table has its own primary key. Due to a collection of organized set of tables, data can be accessed easily in RDBMS.
Now lets take a look at What is table? The RDBMS database uses tables to store data. A table is a collection of related data entries and contains rows and columns to store data. A table is the simplest example of data storage in RDBMS. Let’s see the example of student table. It has 5 rows and 4 columns. What is field? Field is a smaller entity of the table which contains specific information about every record in the table, In the above example, the field in the student table consist of id, name, age, course.
Now lets see What is row or record? A row of a table is also called record. It contains the specific information of each individual entry in the table. It is a horizontal entity in the table. For example: The above table contains 5 records. Let’s see one record/row in the table.
Next is What is column? A column is a vertical entity in the table which contains all information associated with a specific field in a table. For example: “name” is a column in the above table which contains all information about student’s name. NULL Values The NULL value of the table specifies that the field has been left blank during record creation.
It is totally different from the value filled with zero or a field that contains space. Now lets see Difference between DBMS and RDBMS Although DBMS and RDBMS both are used to store information in physical database but there are some remarkable differences between them. The main differences between DBMS and RDBMS are given below: DBMS applications store data as file, whereas RDBMS applications store data in a tabular form.
In DBMS, data is generally stored in either a hierarchical form or a navigational form. whereas In RDBMS, the tables have an identifier called primary key and the data values are stored in the form of tables.
Normalization is not present in DBMS. whereas Normalization is present in RDBMS. DBMS does not apply any security with regards to data manipulation, whereas RDBMS defines the integrity constraint for the purpose of ACID property. DBMS uses file system to store data, so there will be no relation between the tables. whereas in RDBMS, data values are stored in the form of tables, so a relationship between these data values will be stored in the form of a table as well.
DBMS has to provide some uniform methods to access the stored information, whereas RDBMS system supports a tabular structure of the data and a relationship between them to access the stored information. DBMS does not support distributed database, whereas RDBMS supports distributed database. DBMS is meant to be for small organization and deal with small data, whereas RDBMS is designed to handle large amount of data. DBMS supports single user, whereas RDBMS supports multiple users.
Examples of DBMS are file systems, xml etcetera. Example of RDBMS are my sql, postgre, sql server, oracle etcetera. After observing the differences between DBMS and RDBMS, you can say that RDBMS is an extension of DBMS.
There are many software products in the market today who are compatible for both DBMS and RDBMS. Means today a RDBMS application is DBMS application and vice-versa.
The popular examples of RDBMS are SQL server, Oracle, MySQL MariaDB and SQLite. With this I’m concluding this article.
Hope you got some idea about DBMS and RDBMS and the differences.
