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

What is the difference between flat file and DBMS?

A flat file is a simple file containing data without any structured format, while a Database Management System (DBMS) is a software system that manages databases by organizing, storing, and retrieving data. A DBMS allows for more organized and efficient data management, supports relationships between data, and provides features like security and data integrity that are not available with flat files.

Why would use DBMS to store data?

A DBMS is used to store data in an organized manner in a way that is later easy to retrieve. Compare 1,000,000 emails stored as plain text files, or the same 1,000,000 emails stored in a DBMS. In the former, each file would have to be opened by a person or a script to find specific content, which could take hours or even days, while a DBMS can find that information in seconds. Even better, DBMS can observe trends easily, such as how many emails per day were sent by Jane Doe, or how many emails contained a specific keyword or phrase, and when was the first and last occurrence of that keyword. DBMS is not without drawbacks, however. For example, it does not make sense to have a file system completely inside a DBMS, because that file system would run slower than a normal table-based system. However, a DBMS can be used alongside the table-based file system in order to boost search performance (Windows does something similar to this). Use a DBMS if you want to be able to determine data trends, relationships, and other database-driven concepts. Otherwise, a normal file will suffice.


What is the difference between database and file system?

In File System, files are used to store data while, collections of databases are utilized for the storage of data in DBMS. Although File System and DBMS are two ways of managing data, DBMS clearly has many advantages over File Systems. Typically when using a File System, most tasks such as storage, retrieval and search are done manually and it is quite tedious whereas a DBMS will provide automated methods to complete these tasks. Because of this reason, using a File System will lead to problems like data integrity, data inconsistency and data security, but these problems could be avoided by using a DBMS. Unlike File System, DBMS are efficient because reading line by line is not required and certain control mechanisms are in place.
