Difference between DBMS and RDBMS

  • database management system vs relational database management system /
Database Management System VS Relational Database Management System

• Relationship among tables is maintained in a RDBMS whereas this not the case DBMS as it is used to manage the database.

• DBMS accepts the ‘flat file’ data that means there is no relation among different data whereas RDBMS does not accepts this type of design.

• DBMS is used for simpler business applications whereas RDBMS is used for more complex applications.

• Although the foreign key concept is supported by both DBMS and RDBMS but its only RDBMS that enforces the rules.

• RDBMS solution is required by large sets of data whereas small sets of data can be managed by DBMS.
