File organization is the methodology which is applied to structured computer files. Files contain computer records which can be documents or information which is stored in a certain way for later retrieval.
The words file organization are typically defined as a type of organization where information is stored into files on a storage device. File organization can be on the computer or with actual paperwork.

Introduction
Magnetic disk storage is available in many forms, including floppies, hard-disks, cartridge,
exchangeable multi-platter, and fixed disks. The following deals with the concepts which are
applied, in many different ways, to all of the above methods.
A typical disk pack comprises of 6 disks held on a central spindle. As the top and bottom are
disregarded with recording information, only 10 surfaces are used, each with 200 concentric
recording tracks. A diagrammatic representation is shown in Figure 1.
Each of the 200 tracks will be capable of holding equal amounts of information as this is a feature
that is provided by the special software (housekeeping) that is used in conjunction with the handling
of disk files. When the unit is in position in the drive, the tracks are accessed by a comb of 10
read/write heads held rigidly on an arm assembly which moves in and out between the disk as
illustrated. In this way 10 tracks may be referenced without further movement of the heads once
they are positioned over the first track. For the sake of economy it is therefore usual to record over
a 'cylinder' of data (see Figure 1) and avoid unnecessary movement of the heads.
The disk pack is loaded onto the drive and revolves at normal speed of approximately 3600 rpm
when being accessed. Each track can hold upwards of 4000 bytes. Sometimes the sectors on a
disk are used in a similar manner to inter-block gaps on a tape file but in other cases they are
ignored as far as data handling is concerned.
Because this device has the ability to locate an area of data directly it is known as a Direct Access
Device and is popular for the versatility that this affords. Direct access devices provide a storage medium which is a satisfactory compromise between main store and magnetic tape.
One advantage of having your files organized is the fact that people will be able to find what they need if they use your computer. Organizing your computer can be tedious.
to have a data file with multiple access path is known as multi key file organization
Indexed sequential file organization. =In indexed sequential file organization, the records arestored in sequence according to a primary key and an index is created to allow random access of the file. This type of organization also allows the file to be accessed sequentially. Indexed sequential is the most commonlyused type of file organization. writer-k.k.b -montanna
File organization is the methodology which is applied to structured computer files. Files contain computer records which can be documents or information which is stored in a certain way for later retrieval. File organization refers primarily to the logical arrangement of data (which can itself be organized in a system of records with correlation between the fields/columns) in a file system

Advantages of indexed-sequential file organization include efficient access to records through an index and sequential storage for faster retrieval. However, disadvantages may include increased complexity in managing the index and potential performance degradation due to index maintenance overhead.

Heap file organization Sequential File Organization Hashing File organization
Serial file organization provides indexed categorization of data, which many users find helpful. Another benefit of serial file organization is easy access to files.
1) insersection becomes easy in heap file organization. 2) deleation process also becomes easy in heap file organization. 3) searching or retrival of data becomes hard(it take more time).

to have a data file with multiple access path is known as multi key file organization
file is data storage structure it is collection of record
There is great importance in file organization. This type of organization can be easily looked through and files are easy to retrieve.
file organization is of 3 types sequential,direct and indexed sequential where how data is accessed in eash file is decided where as file maintainence is

random file organization is a organization were you search a certain object ofr file by the use of any key and in search by randomly
