A relational database is a type of database that stores and provides access to data points that are related to one another. Relational databases are based on the relational model, an intuitive, straightforward way of representing data in tables. In a relational database, each row in the table is a record with a unique ID called the key. The columns of the table hold attributes of the data, and each record usually has a value for each attribute, making it easy to establish the relationships among data points.
The term "relational database" was invented by E. F. Codd at IBM in 1970, described as a Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks. Codd defined what he meant by "relational" by 12 rules. However, the term has gradually come to describe a broader class of database systems, which involves presenting the data to the user as relations (a presentation in tabular form, i.e. as a collection of tables with each table consisting of a set of rows and columns); providing relational operators to manipulate the data in tabular form. In 1974, IBM began developing System R, a research project to develop a prototype RDBMS.

The chart shows the Relational Database Market Systems Market Size from 2017 to 2022. In 2019, the size of the Relational Database Market Systems Industry was $27B and is projected to grow 8% in 2020. From 2017 to 2022 the Relational Database Market Systems Industry growth is projected to average 8% per year. The top 3 vendors in the market have 79% of the total RDBMS market share. These estimates were made before the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The short term impact of COVID-19 on the Relational Database Market Systems market growth will likely be Beneficial because the increase in the volume of data generated on the internet is closely related to the number of people working from home and the use of more software and applications. This provides more data available related to business operations and logistics, customer data, customer behavior, processes that have switched to 100% virtual operations, all of which will demand the use of database management systems to organize the information. The long term impact of COVID-19 on the Relational Database Market Systems market growth beyond the COVID-19 pandemic will likely be Beneficial because the data generated can be used for generating new business strategies, development of new products and services based on collected data.
