DBMS vs RDBMS vs NoSQL
Parameter        DBMS
Storage  Data stored as a file
system.
Number of users It supports a single user.
Database In DBMS, data stores
structures either in either a
navigational or
hierarchical form.
          ACID In regular DBMS, the data
not be stored following the
ACID. It creates an
inconsistencies database.
Normalization  The database does not
support normalization.
open-source It's a mix of an open-
source and commercial
database.
Integrity DBMS database does not
constraints support the integrity
constants.
        RDBMS
RDBMS applications store data in
the form of table structured
manner.
RDBMS supports multiple users.
RDBMS uses tabular structures to
store data. In table headers are the
column names and the rows
contains corresponding values.
RDBMS are harder to construct
and obey ACID (Atomicity,
Consistency, Isolation, Durability).
It helps to create consistency
database.
It supports the normalization and
joining of tables.
Open-source application
The relational database supports
the integrity constraints at the
schema level. Data values beyond
a defined range cannot be stored in
the particular RDBMS column.
        NoSQL
NoSQL is a non-relational
database system. It stores
data in the form of
unstructured. manner.
It also supports multiple
users.
NoSQL uses to store data
in structured, semi-
structured and
unstructured forms.
NoSQL may support
ACID to store data.
It does have table form,
so it does not support
normalization.
Open-source program
NoSQL database supports
integrity constraints.
