Dbms Assignment 1

The database approach has several main characteristics that differ from traditional file systems: 1) It has a self-describing nature where metadata stored in catalogs describes the structure and constraints of the database. 2) It provides insulation between programs and data through data abstraction. Application programs interact with the database independently of its structure or implementation. 3) It supports multiple views of the data to suit different user needs and applications.
