What does SGBD mean?

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. Trip time calculation in relational databases?

  2. How can I use Python for large scale development?

Solution

  • 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).
