Scalability is the feature that allows a database to accommodate an increasing load of data or users. A scalable database can handle growth smoothly, maintaining performance and avoiding bottleneck issues. Flat file systems, which do not usually support multiple concurrent users or significant amounts of data, tend to lack scalability. Query options, while important for interacting with the database, do not directly relate to how well the database performs under larger loads.
