The two terms DBMS and RDBMS are often used interchangeably. However the R in RDBMS implies that the database uses the Relational model.
The term RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) is only used with Relational databases (Note: Some relational databases are more Relational than others. There is no specific boundary between relational and non-relational databases.)
The term DBMS (Database Management System) is applied to almost all databases.
What is the difference between RDBMS AND DBMS ?
