This Python school project offers dynamic record management, facilitating efficient handling of record additions, deletions, modifications, sorting, searching, and file handling. It provides a versatile solution for streamlined data management by offering advanced binary file management capabilities with support for indexes and overflow areas. Users can create and manage binary files with fixed-size records and custom-defined fields efficiently. The program implements two types of indexes (ordered and unordered) for optimized record retrieval and supports operations such as searching, insertion, and deletion of records. Additionally, it seamlessly handles both primary file management and overflow areas, offering flexibility in record deletion and reorganization.
