From: Howstuffworks"What are relational databases?":

Relational databases use tables to store information. The standard fields and records are represented as columns (fields) and rows (records) in a table. It makes it easy to find specific information because users can sort data based on any field and generate reports that contain only certain fields from each record.

In the relational database example, you can quickly compare salaries and ages because of the arrangement of data in columns. The relational database model takes advantage of this uniformity to build completely new tables out of required information from existing tables. In other words, it uses the relationship of similar data to increase the speed and versatility of the database. .

Relational databases are created using a special computer language, structured query language (SQL), that is the standard for database interoperability. SQL is the foundation for all of the popular database applications available today, from Access to Oracle.

Relational databases are distinguished from flat databases, meaning that the information was stored in one long text file, called a tab delimited file. Each entry in the tab delimited file is separated by a special character, such as a vertical bar (|). Each entry contains multiple pieces of information (fields) about a particular object or person grouped together as a record. The text file makes it difficult to search for specific information or to create reports that include only certain fields from each record.
