1. Reanalyze the five (5) different file structures that were discussed and search for other
filestructures that are available in books, the Internet, and other resources. Closely
analyze thecomponents, attributes, structure, and operations or implementation
guidelines of each fileorganization.

Sequential files kept in a sequential way, one after the other. The idea behind a Pile file
is straightforward: we store the records in the order that they are inserted into the tables,
that is, one after the other. Records in an Index file are arranged according to a record
key. A primary key is used to store records randomly on a magnetic disk or other direct
access device in an Indexing Sequential access file. A Hash file is a file that has been
transformed into a numerical string using a mathematical algorithm.

2. After gathering all the essential ideas and concepts, propose a unique file organization
structureor a file management system using the guidelines/questions below. Use 3
to 5 sentences inanswering each item.

a. Enumerate all your desired attributes/features/functionalities for your file organization

design.
- These are the features or functions I would like to see in my file organization system,
in addition to the file's history, since the date created and modified sections of a file
are usually searched when looking for a specific file. Additionally, it would have
features that show additional details about the file and indicate its importance. This
would make it easier to find a specific file, especially if there are duplicates.

b. Which specific file system property would you like to focus on: long-term existence,
sharablebetween processes, or good internal structure? Why?
- My file organization would probably be helpful to hospitals. Because it offers a quick
and effective way to locate files and records, hospitals might find it to be very helpful.
It could help to enhance the functionality of a hospital database.

c. Select a particular industry (i.e., education, entertainment, health services, and

manufactur ingindustry) that would greatly benefit from your file organization design, and
explain how it will bebeneficial for your selected industry. Elaborate on your answer.
- If I had to pick one industry for my file organization design, it would be the education
sector since there are always new documents created there that need to be
processed and filed properly. This is because maintaining the security of student
records and any other documents containing private information that enter an
educational institution requires a strong file organization design.
Identify what type of records or
files would be involved in
your design. Elaborate on
your
answer.
d. Identify what type of records or files would be involved in your design. Elaborate on
youranswer.
- There will be data records included, which makes it possible to include personal data
among other things. It will also be evidence of past interactions, decisions, actions,
and dialogues. The fact that a database contains information needed for particular
purposes makes it involved as well.

e. What makes your file organization design unique? Rationalize your answer.
- It's not original, in my opinion, as I have a strong suspicion that this kind of concept
has been thought of or expressed before. I think what I want to make it unique is
probably how it is organized internally. I want to be different so that it can be more
sustainable than any other file system.

3. Create a simple illustration of your proposed file organization structure.

4. List down possible recommendations to improve your file organization structure

design.
- The structure needed work, and since my structure appears to be disorganized, I
believe that it needs to be cleaned up more in order for it to function properly.
