A Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) is a server that manages data for you. The data is structured into tables, where each table has some number of columns, each of which has a name and a type. For example, to keep track of James Bond movies, we might have a “movies” table that records the title (a string), year of release (a number), and the actor who played Bond in each movie (an index into a table of Bond actors).
