A relational database is a type of database that organizes data into tables consisting of rows and columns. Relationships between different tables are defined using keys, making it easy to store, retrieve, and manage related information efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a relational database model, logical data structures such as tables, indexes, and views are separated from the physical storage of data. This separation allows database administrators to modify storage methods without affecting applications or the database structure itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n
