The heart of the RDBMS is the relational data model; data is expressed in rows and columns within tables. The names and types of the columns are defined up-front and are collectively called the schema. The rows represent the data stored in the RDBMS and can be accessed using a very popular language called SQL.

This can be expressed in RDBMS like in the example given below.

In these tables, the column definitions are the schemas: for instance, the schemas of both relations Current Accounts and Savings Accounts have three columns named Acc_ID...
