Title: Identify the characteristics of a relational database.
Course: Database Design and Management (Oracle) (10052) > Section: Exploring Database Technologies

Identification of database characteristics should include relational database characteristics, such as

- the relationship between tables along primary/foreign (unique) key lines
- the potential of using the SQL programming language to manipulate data
- the inclusion of objects (e.g., views, sequences, synonyms, constraints) vs. a flat-file database (where all data is in one table with no relationship to other data in other tables).
