A Relational Database Management System

The document discusses the differences between a database management system (DBMS) and a relational database management system (RDBMS). An RDBMS is based on the relational model and allows for multiple, simultaneous access to data organized in rows and columns. It also allows for relationships to be created between tables. The purpose of an RDBMS is to logically organize information for humans and efficiently store and retrieve data for computers. An example database structure with tables for customers, products, orders, and order items is provided.

Assignment DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Submitted to Sir Tahir Khan

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.

Difference between DBMS & RDBMS

1)DBMS permits only one person to access the database at a


given time. But RDBMS gives the multiple access the database
at a given time.

2)DBMS organized the data in any format but RDBMS allows


only in row and column format.

3)In DBMS we can not create the relations but in


RDBMS we create the relationship between the tables.

4) DBMS (Database Management System) is a general term for any system


used to store, manage, and retrieve from a collection of data. It can
be something as simple as a box of index cards, a collection of
computer documents or spreadsheets, or more commonly a software program
designed specifically for managing collections of data. Most DBMSs
today are RDBMSs and most DDBMSs are based on RDBMSs.

5) The RDBMS (Relational DBMS) is based on a Computer Science concept


known as relations. The purpose of the RDBMS is to organize the
information logically (for humans) and to efficiently store and
retrieve the information (by computers). Typically, tables are defined
for each class of thing for which data is to be kept. Tables contain a
row…
Example: For example, a Sales database might contain Customers,
Products, Orders, and OrderItems tables defined as follows:

Customer - ID:CustomerId Facts:Name,Address,Telephone,ContactName

Products - ID:SKUNumber Facts:Price,QuantityOnHand,Description

Orders - ID:OrderID CrossRefs:CustomerID Facts:OrderDate,PaymentStatus

OrderItems - ID:OrderItemID CrossRefs:OrderID,ProductID Facts:Quantity,Price
