File System vs Data base Management System1. Files act locally where as DBMS saves directly in a database

2. Saves in temporary locations where as DBMS in well arranged and permanent data base locations

3. In File Sys., transactions are not possible where as various transactions like insert,delete,view,updating etc r possible in DBMS

4. Data will be accessed through single or various files where as in DBMS, tables (schema)

is used to access data

5. A "File manager" is used to store all relationships in directories in File Systems where as a data base manager (administrator) stores the relationship in form of structural tables

6. Last.... but not the least.... Data in data bases are more secure compared to data in files!!

Hope this thing is use ful to one and all!! :) :) ;)
file system is the method for storing and organizing computer files and the data they contain to make it easy to find and access them whereas data base system is a computer software that manages databases.

i also want to know about filebased management system and databasemanagement system pls tell me pls

A computerized database is stored in a computer and is very fast at organizing information, and grouping related data.

A manual database is like a filing cabinet, slow and clumsy, and you can lose records down the back.

Data can only be found quickly on one bit of data, for example 'Name' as that will be the only bit visible in the filing cabinet - to find anything else you need to manual go through each and every file in the cabinet.



File system is a system , that collecting a data or files and stored in physical location like hard disk or cd-rom.

And datadase system is an integrated logically-realted-data or records in a common pool from where , multiple users could fetch the data.
File systems are containers of collections. Collections are commonly called directories, and they contains a set of data units commonly called files.

All database architectures provide structures and methods to organise data (called rows) into collections (called Tables) that can be updated. Databases have the ability to commit a set of data changes as one logical unit, and have many users doing this concurrently.

The main difference is that filesystems are the layer underneath a database. The database system is an application and a set of database files. The database files are part of the file system container.
"http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_difference_between_a_file_manager_and_a_database-management_system"
1, A database is an integrated collection of logically related records or files consolidated into a common pool that provides data for one or multiple uses.

A file is a package of information with a name attached to it.

2, Databases are basically meant to fragment data into relations store then so that conditioned retrieval is fast and easy.

A file is just for mas storage for future use. Here the conditioned retrieval is not a significant factor.

3, To handle small data sets, file is more efficient than database; that is, consider the stats below,

Test done in a machine (single PC)

Test without condition! Test with condition where names start with 'A'!
File operation was faster Database operation was faster

(I am not including the actual time measured )

For simple operations, read, wright, file operations are faster and simple. But the area where database is of real use is when there is a conditional retrieval of data.

4, Database is real gift in area's where we need to have bulk data (including multimedia) and which includes conditional retrieval. For file operations there are very very tedious operations which involves large processing time.

What is a data type?

Data type, or more commonly datatype as it related to database management systems is the phyisical format by which the data in a database managment is stored on the computers harddrive. The datatypes are database specific. In general, you need to have the same datatype to be able to compare, sort, append data. Data that is not of the same type needs to be CAST or converted to the other datatype before such operations on the data can be performed. Many times this conversion is internal, but in some database management systems, you ned to explicitly convert the data.


When should you freeze columns in a database?

You should freeze columns in a database when you want to maintain a consistent view of certain data while scrolling through large datasets, enhancing usability and navigation. This is particularly useful in applications where users need to compare related data across multiple rows without losing context. Additionally, freezing columns can help prevent accidental edits to critical data fields, ensuring data integrity.


How does facial recognition software work?

"Identix®, a company based in Minnesota, is one of many developers of facial recognition technology. Its software, FaceIt®, can pick someone's face out of a crowd, extract the face from the rest of the scene and compare it to a database of stored images. In order for this software to work, it has to know how to differentiate between a basic face and the rest of the background. Facial recognition software is based on the ability to recognize a face and then measure the various features of the face. Every face has numerous, distinguishable landmarks, the different peaks and valleys that make up facial features. FaceIt defines these landmarks as nodal points. Each human face has approximately 80 nodal points. Some of these measured by the software are: * Distance between the eyes * Width of the nose * Depth of the eye sockets * The shape of the cheekbones * The length of the jaw line These nodal points are measured creating a numerical code, called a faceprint, representing the face in the database.In the past, facial recognition software has relied on a 2D image to compare or identify another 2D image from the database. To be effective and accurate, the image captured needed to be of a face that was looking almost directly at the camera, with little variance of light or facial expression from the image in the database. This created quite a problem."--How Stuff Works


Compare and contrast the advertisements by RIP and OSPF?

RIP is an Interior Gateway Protocol and the most widely accepted routing protocol. It is also known by the name of the Unix daemon program routed. RIP is straightforward: it arranges to have routers to broadcast their entire current routing database periodically OSPF is a link-state algorithm. OSPF specifies a class of messages called link-state advertisements (LSAs) that allow routers to update each other about the LAN and WAN links to which they are connected. When a change is made to the network, LSAs flow between routers. OSPF routers receive link-state updates and store them in a topology database in memory. OSPF networks as an end-station-to-router protocol. OSPF addresses all the deficiencies of RIP, without affecting connectivity to RIP based networks.
