What is file system and advantage of DBMS over file system

Definition of File system & it's advantage of DBMS over file system

What is file system?

Ans/- A file system is a database system that allows us access to single file at a time. In a file system data is directly stored in set of file. It contains flat file that have no relation to other file.

Advantage of DBMS over file system:-

1) Data redundancy: - Data redundancy refers to the duplication of data that means each data may have a single copy. A file system can’t control redundancy of data. In DBMS data redundancy removed by using of data normalization.

2) Data inconsistency: - Data redundancy leads to data inconsistency. In DBMS data redundancy is taken care by data normalization and data in consistency also been taken care of as part of it.

3) Data isolation: - In file system data stored are in various file and files may be different formats. So it is very difficult to retrieved appropriate data. But DBMS data stored in single file so retrieved appropriate data more easy.

4) Atomicity issue: - Atomicity of an instruction refers to all or nothing which means either all operation in a transaction executes or none. It is difficult to achieve atomicity in file system not in DBMS.

5) Data dependency: - In file system changing in data is depended on application program but DBMS changing in data independent.

6) Easy recovery: - Since database system keeps the backup of data. It is easier to do a full recovery of data in case of a failure.

7) Flexible: - Database system is more flexible than file processing system

type casting in C. - computer science fundamentals tutorial

Typecasting in C Typecasting is also known as "forced conversion". It refers to changing variable one data type to another data type. Typecasting in can be certified into following two types: - 1) Implicit type casting. 2) Explicit type casting. Implicit type casting : - It is also known as "Automatic type conversion". It is done by compiler on its own without any external trigger from user. Generally takes place when in an expression more than one data type is present in such condition. Type conversion take places to avoid data lose. Example : - #include<stdio.h> main() { char y = 'a'; int b = y; printf("%c",y); printf("%d",b); } Explicit Type casting : - This process also called 'Type casting' and it is user defined . Here the user can type cast the result to make it of particular data type. Example : - #include<stdio.h> main() { int m...

Solve-write C program to find grade of student by using nested else-if statement

C program to find grade of student by using nested else-if statement Problem Description This program take input as your number then show your grade. Problem Solution 1. enter your marks as input. 2. then check your marks with 'If' block's condition. if it satisfied then show your grade as output. 3. if it not satisfied then it checks with all else-if block's condition repeatedly. 4. print the grade according to your given marks as input and exit. Program codes:- #include<stdio.h> main() { int n; printf("\n enter the marks:"); scanf("%d",&n); if(n>89) printf("O"); else if(n>79) printf("E"); else if(n>69) printf("A"); else if(n>59) printf("B"); else if(n>49) printf("C"); else if(n>39) printf("D"); else printf("F"); } Program explanation:- 1. enter your marks. for example we take 70 . ...
