Traditional File System vs Database System
1. Traditional File System
A traditional file system is a method of storing and organizing data in files within a computer's
storage. In this system, each application or user creates and manages its own files without
centralized control, often leading to redundancy and inconsistency.
Example: Text files, spreadsheets, and simple file storage used by early accounting software.
2. Database System (DBMS - Database Management System)
A Database System is a software system that allows users to define, create, maintain, and control
access to the database. It provides a structured and organized way to store data, reduce
redundancy, ensure consistency, and enable complex querying through languages like SQL.
Example: Oracle, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and PostgreSQL.
