Is Microsoft Access an RDBMS or DBMS?

Answer 1

Yes, MS Access is a relational database management system (RDBMS).

RDBMS is a special type of database management system that stores data in form of related tables. It is differ from flat file databases because it uses several tables for a single database.

Answer 2

Microsoft Access is an application development tool, not a DBMS. Access has some DBMS-like features (strictly, they are features of the Jet software, which happens to be bundled with Access and other Microsoft products). Those DBMS features are not relational because they are based on the SQL DBMS model rather than the RDBMS one. Although SQL is partially inspired by the Relational Model it is non-relational in many important respects, especially because it uses a "tuple-bag" representation instead of the set-theory representation required by E.F.Codd's relational model. In other words SQL breaks what Codd called the "Information Rule".
