2.Indexed File Organization

Indexed file organization is a type of file organization used in database management


systems (DBMS) where data is stored in a file or table with an index.

3.Hash File Organization

Hash file organization is a type of file organization where data is stored in a file or
table using a hash function. sequential,indexed,hashed,organization,applications
4.Clustered File Organization

Data files and its types

Data Files

A data file is a computer file which


stores data to be used by a computer
application or system, including input
and output data. A data file usually
does not contain instructions or code to
be executed.

Data Files types

1.Master file
A "master data file" might contain records related to this master data, with each
record representing a unique entity (e.g., a customer, product, or employee) and
containing key attributes associated with that entity.

2.Transaction file
A "transaction file" is a term commonly used in the context of data processing
and databases. It refers to a collection of records or entries that capture
individual transactions within a specific time frame.

3.Backup file
A "backup file" is a copy of data that is created and stored separately from the
original data source. The purpose of creating backups is to ensure that data can
be recovered in the event of data loss, corruption, accidental deletion, hardware
failure, or other unforeseen issues.
4.Reboot
"Reboot" refers to the process of restarting a computer or a device. When you
reboot a computer, it closes all running programs and processes, clears the
system's memory, and reloads the operating system.

5.Sort file
Sorting files involves organizing them based on certain criteria, such as
alphabetical order, date modified, file type, or size. Most operating systems
provide tools for sorting files within file explorers or file managers.
