About the Relational Database Management System
Progress provides the means for you to store data in relational databases, and Progress also manages many of the low-level tasks of database access. That’s what makes Progress a relational database management system. Progress reads and writes data in the database as your procedures direct, while protecting that data and maintaining the integrity of the database.
This tutorial doesn’t cover the features of the RDBMS, but you do need a quick overview of database fundamentals before you can begin to create database applications effectively. This section provides a quick overview of basic database concepts and the Data Dictionary tool.
For complete information about developing databases, see the Progress Database Design Guide . For more information on the Data Dictionary, see the Progress Basic Development Tools .
