What are the benefits and drawbacks of using a relational database management system (RDBMS)?

Hey Brett

RDBMS offers advantages like data integrity, ACID compliance ensuring reliable transactions, and scalability to handle vast datasets. However, they can also introduce complexity, demand more system resources, and may not be as flexible for handling unstructured or semi-structured data, often seen in modern applications. This balance between benefits and limitations influences the choice of database systems based on specific application needs.
