Flat file database

A flat file database is a type of database that stores data in a single table, with no relationships between the data stored in different tables. This type of database is typically used for small amounts of data that do not require complex relationships, such as a simple address book or a list of employees. In a flat file database, each record is stored as a separate row in the table, with each field in the record stored as a separate column in the table. Flat file databases are easy to create and maintain, but they do not offer the same level of flexibility and functionality as more complex database systems.
