difference between a file processing system and a dbms
Re: Difference between file processing system and database Management system. Difference between File processing system and DBMS: 1. A database management system coordinates both the physical and the logical access to the data, whereas a file-processing system coordinates only the physical access. 2.
1 A DBMS is designed to allow flexibility in what queries give access to the data, where a file-processing system only allows pre-determined access to data (by specific compiled programs). 2  A DBMS is designed to coordinate and permit multiple users to access data at the same time.
