    A file system organizes files in a storage medium like a hard disk to allow easy retrieval. It groups different file types like images, documents into directories. A database management system (DBMS) is software that stores and retrieves user data with security measures. It consists of programs to manipulate the database and offers services like concurrency control, authorization, and independent utilities. Compared to a file system, a DBMS provides more efficient data storage and retrieval, better data protection, lower data redundancy, centralized management, and query processing through SQL.

    What is a File system?
    • A file system is a technique of arranging the files in a storage medium like a
    hard disk, pen drive, DVD, etc.
    • It helps you to organizes the data and allows easy retrieval of files when
    they are required.
    • It mostly consists of different types of files like mp3, mp4, txt, doc, etc. that
    are grouped into directories.
    • It helps you to store data in a group of files.
    • Files data are dependent on each other.
    • Shared File System Support
    • Fast File System Recovery.
    • C/C++ and COBOL languages were used to design the files.
    What is DBMS?
    DBMS is a software for storing and retrieving user's data while considering
    appropriate security measures.
    It consists of a group of programs that manipulate the database.
    A user-accessible catalog of data
    Concurrency control with Recovery services
    Authorization services
    The value of data is the same at all places.
    Offers support for data communication.
    Independent utility services.
    Allows multiple users to share a file at the same time.
    DBMS vs File System
    • A file system is a software that manages and organizes the files in a
    storage medium. It controls how data is stored and retrieved.
    • DBMS is a software application. It is used for accessing, creating, and
    managing databases.
    • The file system provides the details of data representation and storage
    of data.
    • DBMS gives an abstract view of data that hides the details.
    • It does not offer data recovery processes.
    • There is a backup recovery for data in DBMS.
    DBMS vs File System
    • Storing and retrieving of data can't be done efficiently in a file system.
    • DBMS is efficient to use as there are a wide variety of methods to
    store and retrieve data.
    • Protecting a file system is very difficult.
    • DBMS offers good protection mechanism.
    • In a file management system, the redundancy of data is greater.
    • The redundancy of data is low in the DBMS system.
    • Data inconsistency is higher in the file system.
    • Data inconsistency is low in a database management system.
    DBMS vs File System
    • The file system offers lesser security.
    • Database Management System offers high security.
    • Not provide support for complicated transactions.
    • Easy to implement complicated transactions.
    • The centralization process is hard in File Management System.
    • Centralization is easy to achieve in the DBMS system.
    • There is no efficient query processing in the file system.
    • You can easily query data in a database using the SQL language.
