What is FFD (Flat File Database)?
Software that is
used for creating documents and it can be used to store Data in a table. For
example MS Word can be used to store one class Data like students name, Age, DOB,
Address, Father Name, and Mother Name etc. For example MS Word, MS Excel

Features of FFD
1) FFD is good for
small record like one class data in a school.
2) FFD is not
primarily designed to store Data so management of record is quite difficult on
it.
3) It is difficult to manage large data in a table.
4) It is not secure, so anyone can manipulate it.

What is DBMS (Database Management System)?
DBMS is
software that is primarily designed to store large amount of Data in an
organized way. It helps to store, update, delete and retrieve data in an easy
manner, so websites, application software use DBMS to store large amount of
data. For example Open Office Base, SQL.

MCQs of Chapter - Database
Explain Advantages of DBMS (Database Management System).
1) Data Duplicity: In database particular information is stored centrally at one place, so duplicity of data is reduced.
2) Data Sharing: In a centralized database, data can be shared with different websites as well as with application software.
3) Better Security: Database is
more secure as the users are divided into different categories. Some of the
users may be given authority to read and use the data; other may be given
authority to update data.
4) Data Integrity: Take an example of a database that contains marks scored by students in an examination. The maximum marks are 100. The marks secured by a student can’t exceed 100. Integrity checks can be inbuilt into the database such that it will accept numbers only in the range of 0 to 100.
5) Backup and Recovery: Database provides backup and recovery feature. So in
case disk crashes, power failures, or software gives errors, the database can
be recovered to the previous state.

Explain Disadvantages of a DBMS (Database Management System).
1) Complexity: Database systems are
complex, difficult and time consuming to design.
2) Training: Initial training is required for all programmers and users.

Explain different types of DBMS (Database Management System).
1) Distributed Database
In distributed Database, the data isn’t stored in single system, but it is distributed in multiple systems, so it provides more reliability, good speed, and easy of expansion.
2) Centralized Database
In Centralized Database data is stored at one system unlike distributed database where data is stored in multiple systems. Users can access data from multiple systems using network. This database is generally used by big organization or universities.
3) Cloud Database
Cloud database is quite popular these days, and it works online, so it’s easy to get data from anywhere. For this service users can setup their own network or can get paid services. Data security is the essential part of this service as data transfer online.
4) Relational Database Management System (RDBMS)
In Relational Database data is stored in structural way in a form of table logical setup a relationship among them. It helps to integrate your data and you don’t bother about its scalability.
For example
MS Access, Open office Base, MySQL
(Structured Query Language)
