+More often than not
, a database is made up of one or more 'tables' of data
, and relationships can be defined between these tables - for instance you could have one table called contacts containing the names of people in an address book
, and another called phones containing their various phone and fax numbers. Both of these tables would have to identify who the information was about
, and so would have the identifying piece of information in common. This commonality is known as a relationship. From this we get Relational Database Management Systems (
[RDBMS
])
