Relational Database ConceptRelational Database Concept

• Dr. E. F. Codd proposed the relational model for database systems in 1970.

• It is the basis for the relational database management system (RDBMS).

• The relational model consists of the following:

– Collection of objects or relations

– Set of operators to act on the relations

– Data integrity for accuracy and consistency
