RDBMS

What is RDBMS?
RDBMS stands for Relational Database Management System.

RDBMS is a program used to maintain a relational database.

RDBMS is the basis for all modern database systems such as


MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, and Microsoft Access.

RDBMS uses SQL queries to access the data in the database.

Advantages of RDBMS

 Sharing of data across applications and users

 Backup and recovery features
 Ease of use

 Entity Integrity: No two records of a table can be


duplicate

 Referential Integrity: For example – Permit the


rows to be deleted only if the rows are not
referenced by other tables.

 Access Integrity: Restrict access to functionality


(e.g., create new table) and access to data,
based on user role and information confidentiality

 Domain integrity: The columns of a tables have
defined data types. Additionally, default
values, permitted value ranges can be defined for
columns.
 RDBMS ensures “ACID” (Atomicity, Consistency,
Isolation, and Durability) for transaction
Processing.
In the context of transaction processing, the acronym ACID refers to
the four key properties of a transaction: atomicity, consistency,
isolation, and durability.

Atomicity
All changes to data are performed as if they are a single
operation. That is, all the changes are performed, or none of

For example, in an application that transfers funds from one
account to another, the atomicity property ensures that, if a
debit is made successfully from one account, the
corresponding credit is made to the other account.
Consistency
Data is in a consistent state when a transaction starts and
when it ends.
For example, in an application that transfers funds from one
account to another, the consistency property ensures that the
total value of funds in both the accounts is the same at the
start and end of each transaction.
Isolation
The intermediate state of a transaction is invisible to other
transactions. As a result, transactions that run concurrently
appear to be serialized.
For example, in an application that transfers funds from one
account to another, the isolation property ensures that

another transaction sees the transferred funds in one account
or the other, but not in both, nor in neither.
Durability
After a transaction successfully completes, changes to data
persist and are not undone, even in the event of a system
failure.
For example, in an application that transfers funds from one
account to another, the durability property ensures that the
changes made to each account will not be reversed.
