Why its better to use files than a DBMS when there are multiple users to access the data..

Answer / Priyank Saxena

While files can be used for storing and sharing data among multiple users, they lack the features provided by DBMS that ensure data integrity, security, and concurrent access control. For example, with files, it is difficult to prevent duplicate entries, enforce relationships between data, or handle conflicting updates from different users. In contrast, DBMS provides transaction management, locking mechanisms, and other features to ensure data consistency and accuracy when multiple users are accessing the same data.
