Answer / abhishek bajpai

U can understand it like...access path is internal to file
and data path is external to it.
Access path is the order in which the records in a file are
retrieved. Whereas the datapath is the connection between
the program and the database file.
So if a program is using the data basefile, it connects to
the file by using the datapath (which can be share also)
and then retrieves its records based on the order requried
using the access path.
