The word relational is also used somewhat inappropriately by several vendors to refer to their products as a marketing gimmick. To qualify as a genuine relational DBMS, a system must have at least the following properties (Note 1):
1. It must store data as relations such that each column is independently identified by its column name and the ordering of rows is immaterial.
2. The operations available to the user, as well as those used internally by the system, should be true relational operations; that is, they should be able to generate new relations from old relations.
3. The system must support at least one variant of the JOIN operation.
Although we could add to the above list, we propose these criteria as a very minimal set for testing whether a system is relational. It is easy to see that some of the so-called relational DBMSs do not satisfy these criteria.
We begin with a description of Oracle, currently one of the more widely used RDBMSs. Because some concepts in the discussion may not have been introduced yet, we will give references to later chapters in the book when necessary. Those interested in getting a deeper understanding may review the appropriate concepts in those sections and should refer to the system manuals.
A basic definition is:
A relational database management system (RDBMS) is a program that lets you create, update, and administer a relational database.
You will find this definition continued at the attached link.
It is a data base that have relationships ie::
what is relationship between two objects
RDBMS is all about Relational Data Base Management System...
the database management system analysis the data or record but relational database management system links the database to each other.
dbms stands for data base management system whereas rdbms is relational data base management system. A Database Management System (DBMS) is collection of software programs which enable large, structured sets of data to be stored, modified, extracted and manipulated in different ways. Whereas Relational Database Managemet System (RDBMS) is a data structured in database tables, fields and records. Each RDBMS tables consist of database table rows.

A Relational database management system (RDBMS) is a database management system (DBMS) that is based on the relational model as introduced by E. F. Codd. Most popular commercial and open source databases currently in use are based on the relational model. A short definition of an RDBMS may be a DBMS in which data is stored in the form of tables and the relationship among the data is also stored in the form of tables.

RDBMS is a Relational Data Base Management System Relational DBMS. This adds the additional condition that the system supports a tabular structure for the data, with enforced relationships between the tables. This excludes the databases that don't support a tabular structure or don't enforce relationships between tables.
Very Large Relational Data Base
The full form of DBMS is Database Management System.
