Answer Posted / kavitha

in connection less architecture connection to the database
need not be persist till the end of the process.after
fetching the data form database it is pushed in database
object called dataset and connection object need not to be
persist and its closed. and the data will be available from
the dataset.


data reader - ADO.NET DataReader to retrieve a read-only,
forward-only stream of data from a database. Using the
DataReader can increase application performance and reduce
system overhead because only one row at a time is ever in
memory.Connection to the database is maintained till the
end.it is simply like an ado object.it contains only one
table at a time.it is much faster than dataset.


dataset - is used to hold the data from the database along
with their relation. it is connection less object.it also
persist the value which are retrieved form the database.
it is a bit bulky object.it gives both forward and backward
access to data. it uses XML.it can consist more than one
table.we have atrribtes for the dataset


dataset
datatable
datarow
datacolumn

an adapter object is used to fill the data from the database.

dataadapter - dataadapter is a database object which
used to fill the dataset object with data from the database.
