    Hey!

    I've been diving into the world of databases and recently came across an article discussing what is the differences between DBMS and RDBMS. I find myself encountering a few complexities in understanding the practical implications of these differences. Here are some points I'm hoping to get some clarity on:

    1. Data Organization: How does the organization of data differ between a standard DBMS and an RDBMS? What are the key factors that influence the choice between these systems based on data organization requirements?

    2. Query Language: I'm curious about the querying capabilities of both systems. What kind of querying languages do they support? Are there specific scenarios where one excels over the other in terms of complex queries and data retrieval?

    3. Scalability: How do DBMS and RDBMS handle scalability, especially concerning large datasets and high user loads? What are the challenges faced in scaling these systems, and are there best practices to overcome them?

    4. Use Cases: In practical terms, what are some real-world applications where a traditional DBMS might be preferable over an RDBMS, and vice versa? Understanding specific use cases could provide valuable insights.

    I'm eager to learn from the experiences of this community. If any of you have worked extensively with DBMS or RDBMS or have faced challenges in choosing between them, I'd love to hear your stories. Feel free to share your knowledge, examples, or any resources you found particularly helpful in understanding these concepts better.
