Relational database management systems

Relational database management systems (RDBMS) are software applications that store and manage data in a structured format using tables, which are made up of rows and columns. Each table represents a specific type of data, and relationships between tables help organize this data efficiently. RDBMS allow users to easily retrieve, update, and manipulate data using a standardized language called SQL (Structured Query Language). They are widely used in applications like banking, online shopping, and social media to ensure data integrity, security, and accessibility. Examples of RDBMS include MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Microsoft SQL Server.
