Disadvantages in the File System

·         Data Redundancy
·         Data Inconsistency
·         Difficulty in Accessing Data
·         Data Isolation
·         Integrity Problems
·         Atomicity Problem
·         Concurrent Access anomalies
·         Security Problems
Data Redundancy
Data Redundancy is same information’s are duplicated in several files. This makes data redundancy.
Data Inconsistency
Data Inconsistency means different copies of the same data are not matching. This  occurs as the result of  update operations that are not updating the same data stored at different places.
Example: Address Information of a customer is recorded differently in  different files.
Difficulty in Accessing Data
It is not easy to retrieve information using a conventional file processing system. Convenient and efficient information retrieval is almost impossible using conventional file processing system. 
Data Isolation
Data are scattered in various files, and the files may be in different format, writing new application program to retrieve data is difficult.
Integrity Problems
The data values may need to satisfy some integrity constraints.
 For example  the balance field Value must be greater than 5000. We have to handle this through program code in file processing systems. But in database we can declare the integrity constraints along with definition itself.
