What is DBMS & RDBMS? What are differences between DBMS & RDBMS ?

Introduction:

In the current scenario, data is the backbone of almost all organizations. Data is very useful for decision-making.

The organization uses data to analyze, predict & achieve its goals. Hence, we require a system that can manage these data efficiently & store them for future analysis. 

For this, both Database Management Systems (DBMS) and Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) are commonly available & used by many organizations.

What is DBMS?

DBMS stands for Database Management System. 

We can say that DBMS is a system that provides features/facilities to manage the data properly, and allows data retrieval, modification & deletion of data if required.

DBMS is also designed & developed to provide a facility to manage large amounts of data efficiently and effectively.

To store and safeguard the data and enable only authorized users to access the data, DBMS offers security-related functions.

It allows numerous people to view and alter the data at the same time.

Examples include Cassandra, Redis, and MongoDB.
