Introduction to Relational Databases

Relation database is a collection of tables having unique names.

For example - Consider the example of Student table in which the information about the student is stored.

The above table consists of three column headers RollNo, Name and Phone. Each row of the table indicates the information of each student by means of his Roll Number, Name and Phone number.

Similarly consider another table named Course as follows –

Clearly, in above table the columns are CourseID, CourseName and Credits. The CourseID 101 is associated with the course named Mechanical and associated with the course of mechanical there are 4 credit points. Thus the relation is represented by the table in the relation model. Similarly we can establish the relationship among the two tables by defining the third table. For example - Consider the table Admission as

From this third table we can easily find out that the course to which the RollNo 001 is admitted is computer Science.
