1.Data Provider
 Which is set of special purpose classes used to connect a
database ,execute SQL queries &retrieving results.
 Those results are processed and stored in data set

 Includes connection to the database path.

6
2.Connection
 Used to interact with data source.

 Establishes a connection between database and Application.

 i.e. used to connect database.

 Work as connection reference in Command and Data Adapter


Objects.

7
3.Command
 Used to execute SQL queries to read ,add , update & delete
data of a data source through Data Adapter
4. Data Adapter
 Is the bridge between a dataset and the connection.

 Provides communication between the data set and the Data


Source.
 Used to retrieve data from a data source & also save changes
made to the dataset back to the data source.
 Data can be transfer to and from the Database into Dataset
by Data Adapter.
 Fill() method of data adapter is used to fill database to
Dataset.

5. Data Reader
 Reads the data from data source.

 provides connection oriented data access to the data source

 Connection object can contain only one data Reader at a


time.
 While data is being accessed , the connection in the data
reader remains open & can not used for any other purpose.

 Represents the collection of data retrieved from the data source.

 Data set is tabular representation of data ,Means represent data in


rows and columns.
 Dataset contains copy of data requested by client.

 Use dataset with data adapter class.

 Dataset contain more than one table at a time.

 Steps to fill Data set:

1.Create connection object.


2.Create adapter by passing query & connection object.
3.Create new object of data set.
4.Call the fill() method of adapter & pass the data set object.

10
Data Table
 Data set is collection of tables , relationship and constraints.

 Used to represent the table in data set.

 Its member of System. Data namespace
