Best Answer

The Master File Table contains a listing for each file on an NTFS file system volume. All information regarding the files is stored either in the master file table itself or in a space outside the table which is identified within the table.

The MFT is a section of the hard disk that the system references to see what data is stored on the hard disk and where on the disk that specific piece of data is, this is used using the ntfs file system, this is basically the updated version of the File allocation tables in the FAT filesystem but less likely to lose data because there is a copy of the MFT on the drive but it is stored on a separate area of the drive away from the original so it is very unlikey that both could become corrupt at the same time. (FAT's tables were stored directly next to each other so data could easyly be lost)

Master file in DBMS?

Yes! The master file of a DBMS is a data file containing relatively permanent records that are generally updated periodically. The transaction file is a temporary file that holds all changes to be made to the master file, such as additions, deletions, and revisions. A transaction file has to be sorted before it is used to update the master file. By the way, I didn´t get your question, but I hope I helped =D
