How does this differ from an RDBMS?
There are several areas of difference between Notes and a traditional relational database management system.
1. Notes keeps application code and data in the one database.
For sure, many RDBMS keep code in the database, as stored procedures, but this code is mainly database management code that deals with properly managing database operations, rather than implementing business and application logic.
Notes does not have any concept of code that is attached to data storage events. QuerySave and other events are attached to UI objects, and their operations. Notes’s application code is all kept in the database, and replicates with it.

The power of storing Notes databases in DB2 comes not just from the performance improvements that will be available for applications that need it, but more from the ability to see the Notes data in some kind of relational form and work with it from there, while still maintaining the Notes access controls against the data.
Just don’t get too carried away about your Notes data magically being relational, though! Firstly, the DB2 option is only available on servers. Local databases on clients are still stored as .NSF files. The server’s NSF layer maps the data to DB2. The storage in DB2 is that of the Notes data model, it’s not suddenly made the data all fully relational. While you can read — and write — the data with SQL from non-Notes applications, you will still be dealing with the Notes data model.

Everyone know Lotus Notes is a database system but most Notes environments consist of a collection of databases that might interact with each other at some level. Lotus Notes is not a relational database system. A Notes database is a collection of unstructured data, combined with various design elements that allow you to access and manipulate that data.
A Form allows a user to view or manipulate the data fields of a given record in the database. Lotus Notes format is quite customizable in terms of colors, fonts, and layout. However, the Form does not actually hold the data itself.
