                Master file stores data permanently while log files stores history of actions executed by dbms used to guarantee acid for a particular duration after which they are stored permanently in master file.

                The data stored in these files are permanent by nature.
This file is empty while nature.
These files are updated only through recent transactions.
This file stores a large amount of data.
Eg: customer ledgers, student database.
