Types of Databases
Non-relational databases
Non-relational databases place information in field categories that we create so
that information, is available for sorting and disseminating the way we need it.
The data in a non-relational database, however, is limited to that program and
cannot be extracted and applied to a number of other software programs, or other
database files within a school or administrative system. The data can only be
"copied and pasted."
Example: a spread sheet(excel)
Relational databases
In relational databases, fields can be used in a number of ways (and can be of
variable length), provided that they are linked in tables. It is developed based on a
database model that provides for logical connections among files (known as tables)
by including identifying data from one table in another table
Example: OraCle,MYSQL....
