A spreadsheet is one example. All the data is in a single table.
Traditional file processing systems use Flat file database. A flat file database is one every data is stored in a single file . Example of flat file that is used widely is spreadsheet.

Flat file databases are also called as relational databases describe any different means to encode a database model. This requires data to be kept in one large table. Big up Philip Proctor
Sometime in 2011 or 2012 Intuit upgraded QuickBooks, replacing its flat file system with SQL Anywhere from Sybase iAnywhere, allowing QuickBooks to store data in a relational database format.
More than one record in a Database
advantages of database : * data independence ( data and the program are independent , for example if the format of the data has been changed need not to change the file structure WHAT the data is re queried is enough no need to worry about HOW to retrieve the data). * data redundancy can be avoided ( in file for example take two file one is saving file and another is transaction file in both the customer address will be in both file it lead to replication of data his can be avoided in database using normalization (norm 1) * data security (database provide security for accessing of all data) * data integrity (data will be accessed my all user its centralized so accuracy(integrity) will be maintained.. disadvantage; vice versa
Database file is one that is stored on a server and it is in the format that the database needs to read it. It is also stored in the database catalog. A flat file is one that is dumped from a database to import or export into another database or program. A flat file is fields of data separated by delimiters, which keep the fields separated for export/import.

When you store your data in a ordinary plain text file, for example as comma-separated values with one entry per line.Traditional (non-flat-file) databases do not do this, they bypass the file system altogether and store the data in a big binary blob in a custom format that cannot be read by anyone except the database program itself.See related Wikipedia link.
Usually, that is using a "load" file to import data into a database. That can be a flat, delimited file or other formats. The type of format used depends on the database. My database has data upload batch jobs scheduled daily.

A flat file is in a list format (containing only one table) while databases uses different tables to store data. It is easier and faster to locate data in a database than in a flat file.
