A Database Management System (DBMS) is software used to store and manage data, while a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) is an advanced version of a DBMS system that uses relational techniques for storing and retrieving data. The main difference between DBMS and RDBMS is that RDBMS stores data in the form of tables, while DBMS stores data as a file. Other differences between DBMS and RDBMS include:
- Data storage: In DBMS, data is stored hierarchically and in a file format without any relationship between the data, while in RDBMS, data is stored in a tabular format.
- Data access: DBMS supports single users, while RDBMS supports multiple users.
- Data integrity: RDBMS supports the integrity constraints at the schema level, while DBMS does not support the integrity constants.
RDBMS is designed to handle large amounts of data and is widely used across the world.
