I understand now. To me (as a university teacher :->), here exists no single common definition what a (R)DBMS is! That comes close:
A database management system (DBMS) is software that controls the storage, organization, and retrieval of data. A DBMS provides various functions like data security, data integrity, data sharing, data concurrence, data independence, data recovery etc. And an RDBMS is a DBMS based on the relational model. To me, SQLite clearly is a RDBMS - with pros and cons like any product. There is no one-size-fits-all database btw and that's why NoSQL databases came up. I see no evidence, why SQLite would'nt be a RDBMS, or if ot would be less than a RDBMS like e.g. Oracle or PostgreSQL. If someone want's to argue based on single properties, this could be of help: http://database-management-systems.findthebest.com/compare/24-36-43-53/Access-vs-Oracle-vs-PostgreSQL-vs-SQLite 2013/9/1 kimtiago <kimti...@gmail.com> > Hi people, > > I`m really sorry if you think i`m a noob.
