sequential file and data set

Post by rajanikc »

Hi all,
Can any one please explain me the differences between a dataset and sequential file? In what ideal conditions they are used? where can I get more information about them?
Thanks
Rajani

Welcome Aboard :)
Most of the general as well as specific questions have been answered in the past. Use the search facility liberally. Do a "search for all terms" on keywords "difference between dataset and sequential".

If you want to store data in intermediate files, It's always better to go for Datasets, It avoids you some of the overheads like partitioning and conversion from varbinary to ascii format..
