Watermarking and fingerprinting of relational databases are quite proficient for ownership protection, tamper proofing, and proving data integrity. In past few years several such techniques have been proposed. A survey of almost all the work done, till date, in these fields has been presented in this paper. The techniques have been classified on the basis of how and where they embed the watermark. The analysis and comparison of these techniques on different merits has also been provided. In the end, this paper points out the direction of future research in these fields.
