    The document summarizes the differences between traditional file systems and modern database management systems. It describes traditional file systems as the older method that kept duplicate data across files in different formats, making it difficult to write new applications. In contrast, it states that modern DBMS systems eliminate redundancy, provide consistent data access independent of applications, allow for easy addition of new attributes without coding changes, and have built-in security features. The document also lists some key properties of databases like organizing data according to models and maintaining data integrity, as well as advantages such as reduced redundancy, consistency, security and costs.

    Answer all the questions Q1. Differentiate between Traditional File System & Modern Database System? Describe the properties of Database & the Advantage of Database? ANS.

    TRADITIONAL FILE SYSTEM


    1.Traditional file system is that system that was followed before tha advent of DBMS i.e. it is the older way 2. In traditional file processing, data definition is part of the application program and works with only specific application 3. file system are design driven they require design / coding change when new kind of data occurs. 4. traditional file system keeps duplicate information in many locations, this might results in the loss of data consistency 5. in a file system data is scattered in various files and each of these files may be in different formats, making it difficult to write new application programs to retrieve the appropriate data. 6. security features are to be coded in the application program itself

    MODERN DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM


    1. this is the modern way which has replaced the older concept of file system

    2. data definition is part of the dbms. Application is independent and can be used with any application. 3. one extra column attribute can be added without any difficulty. Minor coding changes in the application program may be required. 4. redundancy is eliminated to the maximum extent in dbms if properly defined. 5. this problem is completely solved here.

    6. coding for security requirements is not required as most of them have been taken care by the dbms

    A Database is a collection of records which are stored on a computer, A database organizes the data according to database models such as relational model. Following are the advantages of database: - Reduction in data redundancy - Increased consistency - More data integrity

    - Independence from applications programs - Improvement in data access by using host and query languages - Data is more secure. - Reduction in data entry, storage, and retrieval cost
