-A '''Flat File Database''' is a [[database]] that does not conform to the [[record structure database]], the [[hierarchical database]] or the [[relational model]]. The term refers to the file's [[data]], and to the files's structure of that data, known as a description. The software used to create a flat file is initially called [[ALGOL]] (short for ALGOrithmic Language), [[COBOL]], its name is an acronym for COmmon Business-Oriented Language. Sometimes software is mistakenly called the database, for instance the Query language SQL for a SQL database.

-Flat Files are nowadays archaic, but in the beginning of there uprising modern. [[Random Access]] of data was not possible in these days and the main storage medium were [[reel tapes]]. Files were a consecutive order of information. Different files were placed one after another on these reel tapes. Scientific research into computer science, databases and the technology were by and large the products of spin-offs from other scientific areas. Big Blue wasn't that Big at that time.
