8.What is a database? What are the advantages of database? What
is the difference between flat file and relational database?
ANS: A database is an organized collection of structured data that is stored
electronically. It allows users to easily access, manage, update, and retrieve
data. Databases are managed by Database Management Systems (DBMS),
which provide tools for creating, querying, and maintaining the database.
Databases are used across various industries for tasks like managing customer
information, product inventories, financial data, and much more. They ensure that
data is structured, easily accessible, and secure.
Advantages of Using a Database:
Data Organization and Structure:
 Databases organize data in structured formats like tables, rows, and
columns, making it easier to manage, store, and retrieve information in an
orderly manner.
Data Integrity:
 Databases enforce data integrity rules (such as primary keys, foreign
keys, and constraints), ensuring accuracy, consistency, and reliability of the
data. This helps to avoid duplication and errors.
Efficient Data Access:
 Databases use indexing and querying to quickly retrieve large volumes of
data. This improves performance and makes searching, sorting, and
filtering data much faster compared to other storage methods like flat
files.
Data Security:
 User-level access controls ensure that only authorized individuals can
access, modify, or delete specific data. Databases offer various security
features, such as encryption and user authentication, to protect sensitive
information.
Data Sharing and Collaboration:
 Multiple users can access and work on the same database simultaneously,
which improves collaboration within teams and departments. Databases
allow for controlled access, so different users can perform different
operations (viewing, updating, etc.).

PAGE 20 OF 24
Reduced Data Redundancy:
 Databases help eliminate data redundancy by organizing data into
separate tables and applying normalization techniques, reducing
duplicate entries and saving storage space.
Data Consistency:
 Ensures Uniform Data Across Applications: Since the DBMS centralizes the
management of data, updates made by one user or application are
immediately reflected for others, ensuring that everyone works with
consistent, up-to-date information.
