There are two flavors Database Management System (DBMS) known as shared-file and client server. A shared file based DBMS consist of a database access application which interacts directly with the underlying database. This types of database are typically designed for less demanding data storage needs and are used almost exclusively on desktop computers. Microsoft Access is a typical example of this category of DBMS. Such database systems are never used in distributed or enterprise level environments.
