What is File System on windows? How its different from Database?


A Filesystem is playing an important role on os. Whenever you installing the os, file system also will install. The main purpose of the file system is organizing the data and store to hard disk. So without the help of file system, we cannot assign data and store the data in the hard disk

 TYPES OF FILE SYSTEM:

  • FAT (File Allocation Table)--FAT12, FAT16, FAT32
  • NTFS (New Technology File System)
  • exFAT (extended FAT File System)

FAT 32(File Allocation Table):

  • Provide  4GB to 16TB disk size(Perfect for storage device)
  • If file single file size more than 4gb, then it will not support
  • No security and not support for installing OS

NTFS(New Technology File System):

  • File size and partition up to 256TB
  • Provide security
  • Quick crash error recovery, backup, encryption include
  • In mac os read-only and Linux write only

ExFAT(extended FAT File System):

  • File size and partition up to 256TB
  • we can copy a large amount of file with the single file without error
  • In Mac, Windows, Linux, android will read and write

File system different from Database:

 In windows and database whenever we are going to save the data or read the data it will be happening through the file system. but different between those two is how you get the data

 For example, in windows, you are saving one file(.txt) and the content in the file is listed something with sequence number up to five. After some time you forgot sequence number 5 content. So that you planned to read the content and the file system gave file(Filled with full content up to seq 5, not only seq 5 content).

 But in the database, you are saving the data as a table format and content having up to sequence number 5. After some time you forgot sequence number 5 content. So that you planned to read the content and the file system gave the file(It will give only sequence number 5 content, not another sequence number 1, 2, 3, 4).


Hope this will help you. Please command further information.
