Introduction to RDBMS

This tutorial explains what a relational database management system (RDBMS) is.  It describes basic RDBMS functions and contrasts RDBMS with other database management systems (DBMS) and other data storage methods.

Database design is also discussed, including the important concept of database normalization.

The most widely used database management systems and RDBMS vendors are introduced at the end of the tutorial.

The combination of an internet application with relational database is explored in the "Dynamic Website" portion of our site.

 This integration of technologies results in a dynamic, data driven website.
