What is the difference between database and relational database?
A database is something that stores data. Using tools called
Database Management Systems(like Oracle, Informix, Sybase, DB2),
you can create, view, modify, and delete databases. Databases can
be -Relational -Object Oriented -Object Relational Relational
database stores data in tables(called realtions). These tables are
related to each other.Just like in our family, our relations are
related with each other. In Object Oriented Databases, the
information is stored in the form of Objects as in Object Oriented
Programming.OODBMS makes database objects appear as programming
language objects in one or more porgramming languages. Object
relational databases combine the features of both Object Oriented
as well as Relational databases. Here you can not only store simple
data like text in relational, but you can also store complex
objects like images, audio and video in tables.
