1). The Database Management System allows access to tables at a time. A file management system allows access to single file at a time. File systems accommodate flat files that have no relation to other files.
2). A database coordinates the physical and logical access to the data. A file processing system only coordinates physical access to the data.
3). A DBMS reduces the amount of data duplication. Files often have redundant or duplicate data items.
4). A DBMS is designed to allow flexibility using queries that gives access to the data. A file processing system only allows pre-determined access to data.
5). A DMBS is designed to co-ordinate and permit multiple users to access data at the same time. A file processing system is much more restrictive in simultaneous data access.
