simply files are stored in database in upper to lower order.
are structured and organized data stored in database files
An Access database file is typically stored similarly to other computer generated files found on the hard drive of a computer. Access database files will have a .mdb or .accmdb file name extension.
They are stored on a hard drive or some other permanent storage device. The database application stores a table that identifies related files.
In general, a database is a collection of related data. In more specific terms, a database is typically a collection of computer files, usually stored on disk, used to contain and manage this data. The logical structure of a database (as organized in tables, indexes, views, etc.) does not necessarily correspond directly to its physical structure (the data files, transaction log files, etc.). A database instance is the instantiation of memory structures and processes by a database management system manages the logical and physical structures and the data organized and stored therein. An application program must connect to and interact with the database instance in order to insert, retrieve, modify, and/or delete data stored in the database.
Files cannot be directly stored in a MySQL database. However, a path to the file or the contents of the file can.
Records are stored in order of the primary key, unless you specify another sorted order.
File system has data stored in flat files, which stores only processed data. Database system has data stored in table and they may or may not be related to each other. Database system is more efficient and also reduce redundant information which file system can not do.
This would be called a Data server , or a Host, or database in which you request the files needed and it supplies them to you.
Datafile is a group of files in each table space in an Oracle database. Database files are all files that are found within the database.
* Database datafiles - contain the data itself * Control files - binary files containing information about the database (name, files, backup...) * Online redo logs - files, which record every transaction in the database * Parameter files - database parameter file * Other database related files - password files, alert log, trace files...
Files is any set of information or commands stored on your computer. A database is a collection of "files" that are interconnected or along the same subject...think customer's account information. While a database on a computer is a file, or set of files, a file does not have to be a database.
The database we use in our daily life is called as active database . The data that is stored in the database which is further stored on the cloud is called cloud database.
