Lotus Notes is not a relational database – difference between Notes database and RDBMS

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.

Lotus Notes is not a relational database – Lotus Notes Database

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.

While you can read — and write — the data with SQL from non-Notes applications, you will still be dealing with the Notes data model.
