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 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. source: wikipedia 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. 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.
