DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

AND FILE PROCESSING SYSTEM
 File processing system
1. File processing system
store data in separate computer files. File
processing system is a system used to store
and manage data that involves each
department or area within an organization.
2. Program-Data Dependence.
File descriptions are stored within each
application program that accesses a given file.
3. Duplication of Data.
Applications are developed independently in
file processing systems leading to unplanned
duplicate files.
4. Limited data sharing.
Each application has its own private files with
little opportunity to share data outside their
own applications.
5. Lengthy Development Times.
Each new application requires the developer to
start from scratch by designing new file
formats and descriptions
6. Excessive Program Maintenance.
The preceding factors create a heavy program
maintenance load.
7. Integrity Problem.
The problem of integrity is the problem of
ensuring that the data in the database is
accentuate.
8. Concurrent Access anomalies
If multiple users are updating the same
data simultaneously it will result in
inconsistent data state.
9. Security Problems
Enforcing Security Constraints in file
processing system is very difficult as the
application programs are added to the system
in an ad-hoc manner.
10. Cheap
FPS is less expensive than DBMS.
Database management system
1. A Database Management System
(DBMS) is a set of computer programs that
controls the creation, maintenance, and the
use of the database of an organization and
its end users.
2. Data independency
Data is stored in main server instead of
separate files .so a user doesn’t depend on
other files to access to any data.
3. Less redundancy:
In DBMS there is no duplication of data as
it is stored in main server so there will be
no additional space required,
4. Large data capacity:
There is more data storage capacity in
DBMS because data is available at one
place.
5. Savings of time:
DBMS helps its users to save there time in
finding out any file or entering or editing of
data is not so much time consuming.
6. Maintenance of DBMS
it is not so much difficult in DBMS
because there is not so much load of
repeated data.
7. Less integrity problems:
In DBMs there are less chances of errors
and changes in data.
8. Consistency
In DBMs there is less inconsistency in data
because of one main server which is
updating the data.
9. Security
DBMS is a secured system. There is less
chance of data loss or data theft is not easy.
10. Expensive
DBMS applications are expensive as
compare to FPS. Specialized people are
required for its coding and development.
