<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Flat files''' are the simplest kind of [[database]]: at their most complex, they're a slightly specialized type of spreadsheet. (At their least complex, they ''are'' spreadsheets.)<br /> <br /> Common examples of flat file databases are FreeBSD's [[rc.conf]], Apache's [[httpd.conf]], and BIND's [[zone files]]. (In the Windows world, .INI files serve the same purpose.)<br /> <br /> [[Category:FreeBSD Terminology]]</div>
