The model does not support structural relationships between records. A plain text file or a binary file can be used in presenting a flat file. Plain text files only hold a single record per line. Data is depicted in different ways, but commas are used to separate the values. The process might be time-consuming because of locating commas and tab spaces used in data processing. Flat file database are only made of data. IBM was the first to implement the database, as it was the first model to be used in designing a database. Flat file database model only contains data and doe not support relational models. This was the first database system and only data was stored.Hierarchical and Network Database ModelThis model arranges its data in a tree structure. The parent is the initial source, and can have many children. This model allows for one-to-many relationship. While a parent can have several children, a child can
