What is the difference between RBBMS & DBMS?

Answer Posted / dinesh kulkarni

DBMS has to be persistent, that is it should be accessible
when the program created the data ceases to exist or even
the application that created the data restarted. A DBMS
also has to provide some uniform methods independent of a
specific application for accessing the information that is
stored.

RDBMS is a Relational Data Base Management System
Relational DBMS. This adds the additional condition that
the system supports a tabular structure for the data, with
enforced relationships between the tables. This excludes
the databases that don't support a tabular structure or
don't enforce relationships between tables.

Many DBA's think that RDBMS is a Client Server Database
system but thats not the case with RDBMS.

Yes you can say DBMS does not impose any constraints or
security with regard to data manipulation it is user or the
programmer responsibility to ensure the ACID PROPERTY of
the database whereas the rdbms is more with this regard bcz
rdbms define the integrity constraint for the purpose of
holding ACID PROPERTY.

I have found many answers on many websites saying that
DBMS are for smaller organizations with small amount of
data, where security of the data is not of major concern
and RDBMS are designed to take care of large amounts of
data and also the security of this data.
