Accordingly, what are the advantages of a database management approach to the file processing approach?

Some advantages of a database approach include consistent information, flexibility, easy management of data security and privacy and a reduced application development time.

Subsequently, question is, how is traditional file processing different from database approach? The difference between file processing system and database management system is as follow: A file processing system is a collection of programs that store and manage files in computer hard-disk. File processing system does not provide data consistency, whereas dbms provides data consistency through normalization.

Keeping this in view, what are the advantages of file based system?

Advantage of File-oriented system: It is possible to take faster and automatic back-up of database stored in files of computer-based systems. computer systems provide functionalities to serve this purpose.it is also possible to develop specific application program for this purpose.

What are problems with traditional file processing system?

Problems resulting from the traditional file environment include: Data redundancy: duplicate data in multiple files, leading to data inconsistency, different values used for the same attribute. Program-data dependency: Changes in programs requiring changes to the data. Lack of flexibility.
