What is the difference between DBMS and conventional file system?

Answer 1

File System vs Data base Management System :-

1. 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 System., transactions are not possible where as various transactions like insert, delete, view, updating etc are 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!!

Answer 2

A Database Management System (DBMS) is a software that allows for efficient organization, storage, and retrieval of data in a structured manner. It provides features like data integrity, security, and concurrency control. In contrast, a conventional file system is a basic system for storing and retrieving files in a hierarchical structure, lacking the advanced functionalities of a DBMS.
