File System vs. DBMS Comparison Guide

The document compares file systems and database management systems (DBMS), highlighting key differences such as data redundancy, backup capabilities, query processing efficiency, data consistency, complexity, security, and cost. File systems are simpler and less expensive but lack the robust features of DBMS, which offers better data management and security. Overall, DBMS is more suitable for handling complex data needs compared to traditional file systems.
