Getting Started with HP IMAGE/SQL: HP 3000 MPE/ iX Computer Systems > Chapter 3 Moving from TurboIMAGE/XL to IMAGE/SQLTables versus Data Sets |
|
In TurboIMAGE/XL, the access mechanism is the data set, which consists of a set of entries containing an ordered series of data items. A data set is either a detail or a master, and, if it is a master, it is either manual or automatic. In SQL, a table is an unordered set of rows containing columns. In IMAGE/SQL, a table is synonymous with a data set. Tables are not labeled manual or automatic, master or detail. |
