A spreadsheet is one example. All the data is in a single table.

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
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
File-based systems are low cost and do not need external storage or somebody that is extremely knowledgeable in technology. Disadvantages include data duplication, lack of flexibility, and a lack of security.
You should have the answer not me

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.
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 stored in the database catalog......

Store it in MySQL or use more then one flat-file DB...
hello
laleo
what are the advantages of database management approach to the file processing approach Give examples to illustrate your answer
File system data management (or flat-file databases) served as the only method of file storage and retrieval before the advent of database management systems (such as relational databases). While retaining some use, flat-file databases suffer from poor accessibility, data redundancy, lack of standard file access and the inability to organize data.

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.
