  1. relational database

    A relational database is a type of database that organizes data into tables (often referred to as relations) where rows represent individual records and columns represent attributes of the data. It uses a structured query language (SQL) for writing and querying data. The 'relational' part refers to how each record has a unique identifier (key), which other tables can reference, creating a link or relationship between the two sets of data. This type of database is designed to allow for high flexibility and the relationships between data make it easy to scale and the ability to ensure data accuracy and integrity.
