Operating System (OS) files do NOT hold data for your personal use. Any data in an OS file is used STRICTLY by the OS.
A database system is used for storing data of any kind. A text file is not stored data, so you wouldn't use a database for THAT. But a dictionary of words used in the text file, along with their definitions, could use a database.
Even pics can be stored in a database, and even a list of other files can be stored in a database.

A database system provides structured data storage, efficient retrieval, data integrity, and concurrent access control that are not available with OS files. It is suitable when data needs to be queried, updated frequently, and maintained consistently across multiple users or applications. Using OS files might be more appropriate for storing small, non-relational datasets that do not require complex querying or transactional support.
One answer is when you are dealing with image files like JPGs or PDFs. One mistake I see people making is storing image files within a database. That's a poor design. They bloat the database and can't be indexed. You should store the images in a file system and simply put ponters in the database.
A database is simply a collection of pieces of information (data). A text file storing names and phone numbers is a database. A database management system (DBMS) is some software that manages the data within the database such as MySQL. Both the software and the database are considered together when thinking of a DBMS.
The cat may choose to sleep on the floor instead of the bed because it finds the floor more comfortable, cooler, or simply prefers that spot for sleeping.
The Open Office database program - is simply called 'Base'
This is not a programming issue; simply ask permission from the owner/administrator of the database in question.
simply files are stored in database in upper to lower order.
The generalized architecture of a database system is called the ANSI/SPARC model.many commercial systems and research database models fit within this framework.It can be divided into the following three levels : (a) External level or View level (b) Conceptual level (c) Internal level or Physical level By Lubna Khan
An inquiry database, in other words, a place where questions are asked, simply asks questions. The inquire so no fraud is committed and etc. That is what an inquiry database does.
Cats may choose to sleep on the floor instead of their bed or elevated surfaces because they prefer cooler temperatures, feel more secure being closer to the ground, or simply find the floor more comfortable.
There is no difference if you save simply all the data either in Database or List of tables in a excel sheet. But one advantage of storing all the data in the database is, any DBMS software can easily (of course it can take it from Excel sheet too) extract the data using SQL and it can easily provide the following functionality 1. Consistency of the Database 2. Durablily 3. Automicity 4. Isolate transaction execution 5. Data Security By giveing proper authorization. But those things will be missed if you simply store the data in a Excell sheet or list. Those things should be taken care by a programmer by their code.
A person can store junk in their basement by simply storing it there for further use.
