Difference between rdbms and dbms?

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.

Give you some more uses of rdbms?

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.

DBMS can be classified in the following ways,
1. Based on Data Model
Relational Data Model
Object Data Model
Object Relational Data Model
Extended Relational Data Model
XML Model
Hierarchical Data Model
Network data Model
2. Based on Number of Users
Single User System

How many types of Data Base in market?

In many cases, each company has its own database (or several
databases), so I would estimate that there are about as many
databases as there are companies.
If you are referring to the DBMS - the software that manages the
databases - you can see a list of the most common ones in the
following Wikipedia articles:
* Comparison of relational database management systems
* Comparison of object database management systems
* Comparison of object-relational database management

What are different types of database management?

There are currently 3 general categories of data base management
systems in use today:
relational database systems
multidimensional database systems (often referred as
'cubes')
object oriented database systems
Prior to the success of relational database systems (early 80's)
there were also hierachical database systems and network (aka
CODASYL) database systems.

Difference between expert system and learning content management system?

An expert system is intended to solve specific problem as if it
is a human. It uses base of rules (knowledge base) and algorithms
to reach a decision or conclusion. It may be built as from-scratch
software or using a content management system
software/technology.
A learning content management system literally means any content
management system for learning purposes. If it includes a thinking
component (i.e inference engine), then the content represents the
knowledge-base, and it may produce step-by-step explanation of how
the decision or conclusion is reached. The purpose of such
knowledge-base learning content management systems is to support
the learning process, rather than to make decisions for real-world
problems.

Relational Data Base Management System?

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.
