While both a Database Management System (DBMS) and a traditional filesystem store data, they do so in fundamentally different ways.

Feature	Filesystem	DBMS
Data Structure	Stores data in unstructured files within a hierarchy of folders.	Stores data in a structured way (tables, records, fields) following a specific model.
Data Access	Requires programmatic access to find, open, read, and write files. No complex querying.	Provides a query language (like SQL) for efficient and complex data retrieval.
Security	Offers basic security at the file level (read/write permissions).	Provides robust security with user authentication, access control, and encryption.
Data Integrity	Offers very limited data integrity. Redundancy and inconsistency are common.	Enforces data integrity through constraints (primary keys, foreign keys).
Recovery	No built-in recovery mechanism. Data loss is a significant risk.	Provides sophisticated backup and recovery mechanisms to prevent data loss.
Concurrency	Poor support for simultaneous access by multiple users, often leading to data corruption.	Provides excellent concurrency control, allowing multiple users to access and modify data safely at the same time.
