What is Relational Databases?

Relational databases organize data into tables, where each table represents a specific type of entity (like customers or products). These tables are linked together based on relationships between the data, often using shared columns called keys. This structure allows for efficient storage, retrieval, and management of large datasets while ensuring data integrity and consistency.
