DBMS vs FPS ( File Processing System)
Flexibility
Because programs and
data are independent, programs don’t have to be modified when types of
unrelated data are added to or deleted from database or when physical storage
changes.
Fast Response to Information Requests
Because data are
integrated into single database, complex requests can be handled much more
rapidly then if the data were located in separate, non-integrated files.( Faster
response means better service to user )
Multiple Access
Database software
allows data to be accessed in a variety of ways & often, by using several
programming languages.
Lower User Training Cost
Users often find it
easier to learn such systems & training costs may be reduced. Also, the total
time taken to process request may be shorter, which would increase
productivity.
Less Storage
All occurrences of data
need to be stored once thereby eliminating the storage of redundant data.
System developer & database designers often use data normalization to
minimize database data redundancy.
Data Integration
File format of file
system could cause interface headaches & inefficiencies.
Up-to-Date information to all users at same time
Reduced application developed time
Shared & accessed data easily on easily on any system anywhere
