Term Main definition
Flat file

A flat file is a database designed around a single table.

 

Its design puts all database information in one table or list with fields to represent all parameters. A flat file may contain many fields often with duplicate data that are prone to data corruption. If you decide to merge data between two flat files you need to copy and paste relevant information from one file to the other. There is no automation between flat files.
