DBMS Vs File Management System

A FMS is how data is stored on computer in

Drives

By placing data electronically in files. These files are then stored in specific locations

Remove the burden of manually locating data. Having to scroll through it by allowing the user

to create a logical structure for the data beforehand.

RELATIONAL DBMS
DBMS that is based on the relational model as

introduced by Dr. Edgar F. Codd Stores data in the form of related tables Powerful because they require few assumptions about how data is related or how it will be extracted from the database Same database can be viewed in many different ways Single database can be spread across several tables
