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.
