1.We know that dbms is a computer program which is responsible for all the creation and maintainance of the database informations . So in dbms we store datas in the database(tables). But in file processing system we store the datas in the files.
2.IN FILE SYSTEM, DATA REDUNDANCY means duplication of same informations in several files which leads to DATA INCONSISTENCY .
DBMS gives the ATOMICITY facilities that means if the system fails at any time then it restores to its previous consistent state.
3.DBMS PROVIDE INVIROMENT WHERE ALL THE FILES ARE UPDATED WHEN WE UPDATE A SINGLE FILE .
AT OTHER END IN FILE PROCESSING SYSTEM IF WE WANT TO UPDATE ANY ADDRESS THEN ONLY THAT FILE IS UPDATED WHICH WE CAN UPDATED,SO THERE IS INCONSISTENCY SITUATION CREATED.
4.DBMS provides data security to the users means every users can't access all the database systems.
SINCE APPLICATION PROGRAMS ARE ADDED TO THE FILE SYSTEM IN AN HOC MANNER ,ENFORCING SUCH SECURITY CONSTRAINTS IS DIFFICULT.
