    The document discusses the key differences between file systems and database management systems (DBMS). It provides details on how they compare in terms of data organization, integrity, security, accessibility, recovery, scalability, complexity, and concurrency. It also defines the three levels of abstraction in a DBMS - the external/view level, conceptual/logical level, and internal/physical level. Finally, it provides definitions for schema, data model, mapping, and data independence in DBMS.

    1Q.

    what is the difference between File System and DBMS

    File System DBMS

    Data Organization Hierarchical, stored in files Structured, stored in tables

    Data Integrity Limited, prone to data redundancy High, with mechanisms to avoid redundancy

    Data Security Basic, relies on system security Advanced, with built-in security features

    Data Accessibility Direct access, less flexible Flexible, with complex query capabilities

    Data Recovery Limited, manual backup required Comprehensive, with automated backup
    options

    Scalability Limited, not ideal for large datasets High, designed to handle large datasets

    Complexity Simple, easy to set up Complex requires initial setup and


    management

    Concurrency Limited risk of data corruption High, supports multiple users simultaneously

    2Q. What are the levels of Abstraction in DBMS


    The three levels of abstraction in DBMS are: External Level / View
    Level. Conceptual Level/ Logical Level. Internal Level / Physical Level

    Physical Level (External Level)

    The external level, also known as the View level, is the level of abstraction that is closest to
    the end users. It defines how the data is viewed by the users or applications that access the
    database.

    The external level includes the schema, which is a description of the


    data that is relevant to a specific user or application. The schema defines
    the tables, attributes, and relationships that are relevant to the user or
    application.
    Conceptual Level/ Logical Level

    The conceptual level, also known as the logical level, is the level of
    abstraction that defines the overall structure of the database. It defines the
    relationships between the data elements, the constraints on the data, and
    the operations that can be performed on the data.

    The conceptual level includes the data model, which is a representation of


    the data that is independent of any specific database management system.
    The data model defines the tables, attributes, and relationships that make
    up the database and the constraints that govern them.

    Physical Level (Internal Level)

    The internal level, also known as the physical level, is the level of
    abstraction that defines how the data is physically stored and organized in
    the database.

    The internal level includes the physical schema, which is a description of


    how the data is physically stored in the database. The physical schema
    defines the data structures used to store the data, the access methods
    used to retrieve the data, and the algorithms used to perform operations on
    the data.

    3Q.What is a schema in DBMS?


    Ans. A schema in DBMS is a description of the data that is relevant to a
    specific user or application. The schema defines the tables, attributes, and
    relationships that are relevant to the user or application.

    4Q.What is a data model in DBMS?


    Ans. A data model in DBMS is a representation of the data that is
    independent of any specific database management system. The data
    model defines the tables, attributes, and relationships that make up the
    database and the constraints that govern them.

    5Q. what is mapping in DBMS?


    Ans. Mapping in DBMS refers to the links between the different levels of
    abstraction in DBMS that allow the users or applications to interact with the
    database at the appropriate level of abstraction.

    6Q.What is data Independence

    Data Independence means the ability of the data to change the schema at one level of the
    database without having to change the schema at the next higher level.
    two levels of data independence in DBMS:

     Physical level data independence

     Logical level data independence
