what is the difference between DBMS and RDBMS??

Answer Posted / vikas jaiswal

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.

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.
