Difference between DBMS and RDBMS

What is the Difference between DBMS and RDBMS?
A 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 difine the integrity constraint for the purpose of holding ACID PROPERTY.


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.


What is the difference between DBMS?

Answer

DBMS stands for Database Management System which is a general term for a set of software dedicated to controlling the storage of data.

RDMBS stand for Relational DataBase Management System. This is the most common form of DBMS. Invented by E.F. Codd, the only way to view the data is as a set of tables. Because there can be relationships between the tables, people often assume that is what the word "relational" means. Not so. Codd was a mathematician and the word "relational" is a mathematical term from the science of set theory. It means, roughly, "based on tables".

Answer

DBMS includes the theritical part that how datas are stored in a table.It does not relates tables with another. While RDBMS is the procedural way that includes SQL syntaxes for relating tables with another and handling datas stored in tables.

Answer

1)rdbms is object based database management system while dbms 2)rdbms can maintain at many users at same time while dbms not 2)in rdbms is relation is more important than object itself while dbms entity is more important

Answer

The main advantage of an RDBMS is that it checks for referential integrity (relationship between related records using Foreign Keys). You can set the constraints in an RDMBS such that when a paricular record is changed, related records are updated/deleted automatically.

Answer

ORDBMS = ODBMS + RDBMS = (O + R) * DB * MS. On a logical level, an ORDBMS is the MS process methods applied for DB data structure, which is complied with O object and R relational concepts.

Answer

A database has to be persistent, meaning that the information stored in a database has to continue to exist even after the application(s) that saved and manipulated the data have ceased to run. A database also has to provide some uniform methods that are not dependent on a specific application for accessing the information that is stored inside the database.

An RDBMS is a Relational Data Base Management System. This adds the additional condition that the system supports a tabular structure for the data, with enforced relationships between the tables.

Answer

the difference is dbms has no tables

while rdbms has and also it describes

about the relationships among the tables

dbms for small organisatiions

where rdbms for large amonut of data

Answer

the difference between dbms and rdbms is that it doesn't show the relation while rdbms show the relation and moreover dbms is for small organisations where rdbms for large amount of data

Answer

In DBMS all the tables are treated as different entities. There is no relation established among these entities. But the tables in RDBMS are dependent and the user can establish various integrity constraints on these tables so that the ultimate data used by the user remains correct.

Answer

In DBMS there are entity sets in the form of tables but relationship among them is not defined while in RDBMS in each entity is well defined with a relationship set so as retreive our data fast and easy.

Answer

In DBMS tables are not related. In RDBMS tables are related

In DBMS only one user can access the same database, at the same time. In RDBMS many users simultaneously access the same database

RDBMS is more secure than DBMS

In DBMS store and retrieve small amount of Data In RDBMS store and retrieve large amount of Data

Answer

DBMS :

- Set of data and tools to manage those data. - Will not support RELATION SHIP between data. - Ex : - Foxpro data files and earlier Ms Access.

RDBMS :

- Same as DBMS - Will Support RELATION SHIP between Tables. - Ex : - ORACLE,SQL 2000,DB 2 ...

Answer

dbms support 6 rules which were proposed by the developer of dbms and where as rdbms follows 8 rules which were proposed by the developer of rdbms.

Answer

1. dbms is a single user system rdbms is a multiuser system 2. dbms stores do not store data in the form of tables while rdbms stores it in the form of tables. 3. most of dbms are not supporting client/server architecture as it is supported by rdbms. 4. most dbms do not support distributed databases

What the difference between UNION and UNIONALL?

Union will remove the duplicate rows from the result set while Union all does'nt.

What is the difference between TRUNCATE and DELETE commands?

Both will result in deleting all the rows in the table .TRUNCATE call cannot be rolled back as it is a DDL command and all memory space for that table is released back to the server. TRUNCATE is much faster.Whereas DELETE call is an DML command and can be rolled back.

Which system table contains information on constraints on all the tables created ?
yes,
USER_CONSTRAINTS,
system table contains information on constraints on all the tables created

Explain normalization ?
Normalisation means refining the redundancy and maintain stablisation. there are four types of normalisation :
first normal forms, second normal forms, third normal forms and fourth Normal forms.

How to find out the database name from SQL*PLUS command prompt?
Select * from global_name;
This will give the datbase name which u r currently connected to.....

What is the difference between SQL and SQL Server ?

SQLServer is an RDBMS just like oracle,DB2 from Microsoft
whereas
Structured Query Language (SQL), pronounced "sequel", is a language that provides an interface to relational database systems. It was developed by IBM in the 1970s for use in System R. SQL is a de facto standard, as well as an ISO and ANSI standard. SQL is used to perform various operations on RDBMS.

What is diffrence between Co-related sub query and nested sub query?

Correlated subquery runs once for each row selected by the outer query. It contains a reference to a value from the row selected by the outer query.

Nested subquery runs only once for the entire nesting (outer) query. It does not contain any reference to the outer query row.

For example,

Correlated Subquery:

select e1.empname, e1.basicsal, e1.deptno from emp e1 where e1.basicsal = (select max(basicsal) from emp e2 where e2.deptno = e1.deptno)

Nested Subquery:

select empname, basicsal, deptno from emp where (deptno, basicsal) in (select deptno, max(basicsal) from emp group by deptno)

WHAT OPERATOR PERFORMS PATTERN MATCHING?
Pattern matching operator is LIKE and it has to used with two attributes

1. % and

2. _ ( underscore )

% means matches zero or more characters and under score means mathing exactly one character

3) What are feratures&advantages in Oracle and MS Access?
Oracle's features for distributed transactions, materialized views and replication are not available with MS Access. These features enable Oracle to efficiently store data for multinational companies across the globe. Also these features increase scalability of applications based on Oracle.

What is database?
A database is a collection of data that is organized so that itscontents can easily be accessed, managed and updated. open this url

What is cluster.cluster index and non cluster index ?
Clustered Index:- A Clustered index is a special type of index that reorders the way records in the table are physically stored. Therefore table may have only one clustered index.Non-Clustered Index:- A Non-Clustered index is a special type of index in which the logical order of the index does not match the physical stored order of the rows in the disk. The leaf nodes of a non-clustered index does not consists of the data pages. instead the leaf node contains index rows.

How can i hide a particular table name of our schema?
you can hide the table name by creating synonyms.

e.g) you can create a synonym y for table x

create synonym y for x;

What is difference between DBMS and RDBMS?
The main difference of DBMS & RDBMS is

RDBMS have Normalization. Normalization means to refining the redundant and maintain the stablization.
the DBMS hasn't normalization concept.

What are the differences between DBMS and RDBMS?

What are the differences between a DBMS and a RDBMS? Well, this is a tricky one to answer. Why? First of all, there are those that would tell you that there are not any real relational database management system (RDBMS) products available, so the answer should be given in the theoretical, instead of based on real DBMS products. I find this unsatisfactory (even though it is true). The market leading DBMS products today are all SQL DBMS products. They were originally based on the relational database management model - but did not implement the model fully or completely accurately. Anyway, let me answer it based on these SQL DBMS products versus others.

First of all, the SQL DBMS allows the data to be queried based on any column in any table. You do not need to create an index or keys in order to query data (even though indexes will help with performance and primary keys are required to uniquely identify data). So, relational/SQL data is easier to query than hierarchical, CODASYL, or some other model.

Secondly, because the relational model is based on set theory its accuracy and usefulness have a basis in mathematics. Indeed, a basis in mathematics that is centuries old and proven. This is a strong reason.

Additionally, a relational database describes data in terms of its natural structure only - that is, it excludes all details having to do with machine representation.
