DBMS Vs FileSystem

The document outlines the drawbacks of file systems, including data redundancy, inconsistency, isolation, and security issues. It contrasts these with the advantages of Database Management Systems (DBMS), such as reduced redundancy, improved data consistency, and enhanced security, while also noting the disadvantages of DBMS, including high implementation costs and complexity. Overall, it highlights the trade-offs between file systems and DBMS in data management.

Drawbacks of File System

• Data redundancy: Duplicate data leads to higher storage costs


and poor access time.
• Data inconsistency: Inconsistent data due to uncoordinated
updates.
• Data isolation: Scattered data in different formats makes access
difficult.
• Dependency on application programs: File changes require
changes in programs.
• Atomicity issues: Hard to ensure all-or-nothing execution in
transactions.
• Data security: Difficult to restrict unauthorized data access.
Advantages of DBMS over File
System

• No redundant data: Data normalization


eliminates duplication.
• Data consistency and integrity: Maintains
consistency by reducing redundancy.
• Data security: Easy to enforce access
constraints and prevent misuse.
• Privacy: Controlled access ensures data
privacy.
• Easy access to data: Efficient management and
Disadvantages of DBMS

• High implementation cost compared to file


systems.
• Complexity: Requires deep understanding and
management.
• Performance: Generic structure may lead to
reduced efficiency in specific use cases.
