A relational database management system (RDBMS) is a database management system (DBMS) in which data is stored in tables and the relationships among the data are also stored in tables.

A relational database management system (RDBMS) is a database management system () that is based on the relational model as introduced by E. F. Codd, of IBM's San Jose Research Laboratory. Many popular databases that are currently in use are based on the relational database model.

RDBMSs have become a predominant choice for the storage of information in new databases used for financial records, manufacturing and logistical information, personnel data, and much more. Relational databases have often replaced legacy hierarchical databases and network databases because they are easier to understand and use. However, relational databases have been challenged by object databases, which were introduced in an attempt to address the object-relational impedance mismatch in relational database, and XML databases.

History:
The development for the RDBMS model began at in 1974
The first commercially available RDBMS system was in 1979
The first RDBMS system for Mac OS was in 1984
