How is a relational database system different from other databases in tabular form?
By contrast, relational database system is designed to easily work with multiple sets of data (usually called tables) at the same time. You define relationships (hence the name) between the tables so you can easily navigate among them. So it’s easy to find all Male employees (in one table) who live in NYC (probably in an “address” table) who got a bonus over $1000 last month (from a payroll table) by searching all three tables simultaneously.
