  • 3.1. Overview of Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS): Software for creating, maintaining, and managing databases using the relational model to organize data in structured tables.
    • Structure of Data (Tables): Composed of rows (records/tuples) and columns (attributes/fields), each defining characteristics of an entity.
  • 3.2. Database Manipulation Using SQL: SQL (Structured Query Language). Includes Data Definition Language (DDL), Data Manipulation Language (DML), and Data Query Language (DQL).
    • DDL: Used to define the database structure, with commands like CREATE (for creating tables), ALTER (changing table structure), and DROP (to delete tables).
    • DML: Used to manipulate the data within the tables, such as INSERT (to add new data) UPDATE (to modify existing data), and DELETE (to remove data).
    • DQL: Used to query data from tables, such as SELECT (to retrieve data) to meet specific criteria (e.g., filtering records).
