Description

Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) is an advanced version of a DBMS system. It came into existence during 1970’s. RDBMS system also allows the organization to access data more efficiently than DBMS. One of the most important features of a RDBMS is the ability to support multiple users whereas the DBMS only supports one user at a time.

Most companies today have switched from using DBMS to use RDBMS because of its advanced capabilities and its abilities to help business handle data and manage information by storing it in the form tables.
