What are the diffeneces between a files processing system and a Data base management system?

Answer 1

• A database coordinates the physical and logical access to the data; a file-processing system only coordinates physical access to the data
• A DBMS reduces the amount of data duplication
• A DBMS is designed to allow flexibility in what queries give access to the data, where a file-processing system only allows pre-determined access to data (by specific compiled programs)
• A DBMS is designed to coordinate and permit multiple users to access data at the same time. A file processing system is much more restrictive in simultaneous data access

Answer 3

Previously data were stored in traditional files and used. Each file was independent of the other. It was simple to manage and extract data. However they were not very accurate or reliable which affected decision making. A database management system is an integrated system of filing and collecting data. They provide the right data at the click of a button as they are stored in a software. Data are stored in a database and access to it is convenient and effective. Storing and retrieving of data is easy and helps in quick decision making.

Traditional file management system does not allow to ask any query while modern DBMS does.Traditional FPS does not maintain security but DBMS does. Traditional FPS does not maintain data integrity and consistency but DBMS does.

Answer 5

File system is the traditional method where data is stored and retrieved from files. But modern DBMS stores data in the database tables and retrieves them.
