Advantages :
It is fast and efficient when dealing with large volumes of data that need to be
processed periodically (batch system).
Disadvantages
Requires that all new transactions be sorted into the proper sequence for
sequential access processing.
Locating, storing, modifying, deleting, or adding records in the file require
rearranging the file.
This method is too slow to handle applications requiring immediate updating or
responses.
