Difference Between DBMS Vs RDBMS

DBMS stores data in files without relationships while RDBMS stores tabular data with relationships and supports features like transactions, users, and normalization. RDBMS is better suited for large, complex databases with multiple users by enforcing data integrity and providing faster data access through queries. The main examples of DBMS are file systems while RDBMS examples include MySQL, Oracle, and SQL Server.
