In contrast to PostgreSQL, MySQL has always been under corporate control. PostgreSQL 6.0 was the first production release in 1997. While PostgreSQL was officially changed to take advantage of the reference to Structured Query Language, the project still uses both names. In 1985, one of the original developers of Ingres went back to Berkeley (after founding a company to commercialize Ingres) to develop a successor to Ingres that he named Postgres. One of the first relational databases, Ingres was developed at UC Berkeley in 1973 and became the platform for many commercial products. We will now examine the most popular RDBMSs and assess their benefits.
SQL is the basis for most RDBMSs, so if you are familiar with this language, there’s a high chance that you can easily adjust to different database systems. RDBMSs generally require you to query and process data using a special language called structured query language (SQL). Through queries, you can retrieve and process attributes of a datum. Relational databases manage data through tables, otherwise known as relations. The latter has gained the most popularity.ĭata management approaches vary between DBMSs.
There are many types of DBMSs, including Hierarchical DBMSs, Network DBMSs, Object DBMSs, and Relational DBMSs. A database management system (DBMS) is required to access the stored data. The simplest definition of a database is a place where data is stored.
