File System manages data using files in hard disk. Users are allowed to create, delete, and update the files according to their requirement.
The issues with file system are:
· Redundancy of data: Data is said to be redundant if same data is copied at many places. If a student wants to change Phone number, he has to get it updated at various sections. Similarly, old records must be deleted from all sections representing that student.
These are the main reasons which made a shift from file system to DBMS.
