tiedostopohjaisiin

Tiedostopohjaisiin refers to a concept or methodology related to file-based systems. In computing, this generally describes operations, processes, or systems that rely primarily on the creation, manipulation, and storage of data within files. This is in contrast to database-driven systems, which store data in structured tables and use a database management system for access and querying.

In a tiedostopohjaisiin approach, data is often organized in discrete files, such as text documents, spreadsheets, or custom data formats. Applications interact with these files directly, reading from them to retrieve information and writing to them to save changes. This can be a simple and direct way to manage data, particularly for smaller datasets or specific types of information.

Common examples of tiedostopohjaisiin systems include configuration files, log files, and simple data storage solutions where each record might be stored in its own file. While straightforward, managing large amounts of data in a purely file-based manner can present challenges related to data integrity, concurrent access, and efficient searching, which are often better addressed by database systems. The term emphasizes the fundamental role of files as the primary unit of data organization and access.
