Answer 3

A 'file system' is a basic way how operating system (such as Windows) stores programs, data, and itself on storage media. It is typically built on files and folders in a tree structure.

DBMS is a program for storing and manipulating data in its own way, e.g. in tables and their relations. This program is physically stored in the file system, but the operating system cannot manipulate internal DBMS data.

The operating system can only work with the files that DBMS uses, and careless changes can lead to loss of integrity and functionality of DBMS.
