Relational Databases Overview

A relational database stores data in tables, which are made up of rows and columns. Each table represents a specific entity, and relationships can be formed between them using keys.

  • Primary Key: Uniquely identifies each row in a table.
  • Foreign Key: References the primary key in another table to create relationships.

Example tables:

Users(id, name, email)
Orders(id, user_id, total)

These tables are linked via user_id which is a foreign key.
