There is so much information around today and there has to be efficient mechanism in

place to manage tthe huge volume of data. This is where relational database

management systems -RDBMS comes in handy. An RDBMS is used to manage

databases.

What is a database? This is where information or data is stored. Databases actually

stored information or data inside tables which in turn consists of columns and rows just

like an excel spreadsheet. The columns represents the data fields for example LastName

while the rows represents individual records like Anderson. Database administrators or

data analyst need to interact with the data from the database from time to time and the

way they do that is by using SQL.
