What does SGBD mean?

Question

As I could not find the answer anywhere else:

What is SGBD? Is it "Système de Gestion de Bases de Données" (Database management system)?

E.g. it is used in responses to these two Stack Overflow questions:

1. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/83050

2. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/236407

Answer 1

SGBD = Database System

The english acronym is RDBMS (Relational database management system)

Answer 2

A SGBD is a "Système de Gestion de Base de Données" which is exactly the same as a DBMS ... I can't say much more since there are no great translation subtility ...

Hope it is helpfull :)

ps if you need more french translations please call the froggy (me ^^)

Answer 3

Yes you're right, I confirm that in French we use the abbreviation SGBD for 'Système Gestion de Base de Données' (DataBase Management System / DBMS) to which we can sometimes add R (SGBDR) 'Système Gestion de Base de Données Relationnelle' (RDBMS).
