Relational database

A relational database is a database based on the relational model. Strictly speaking the term refers to a specific collection of data but it is often used synonymously with the software that is used to manage that collection of data. That software is more correctly called a relational database management system, or RDBMS.

In simple terms it is a collection of tables linked by relationships using primary keys across tables.
