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.
