What is Flat-File Database?

By Dinesh Thakur

A simple, flat-file database has only a single table, which means it has one set of records with fields. Each record within the table contains the same fields with the same type of information in each field, although of course the specific information you enter into each separate field is different. For instance, you might have a “Last Name” field on every record, but the actual last name on each record is different.
