managing databases. DBMSs ensure data integrity, security, and concurrency control.

Within the realm of DBMS, Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) are a
subset characterized by their adherence to the relational model proposed by Edgar F. Codd. In
RDBMS, data is organized into tables consisting of rows and columns, with relationships
defined between them. RDBMSs offer powerful features such as ACID (Atomicity,
Consistency, Isolation, Durability) properties, transactions, and referential integrity
constraints.

serves as the standardized language for interacting with RDBMS. It provides a


comprehensive set of commands for defining, querying, and manipulating data stored in
