+of rowset</title><shortdesc>Describes the types of rowset available to you.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<p>Database application programs use a <keyword>rowset</keyword>, which maintains
+a <keyword>cursor</keyword> on a current row within that set. The rowset provides
+an abstract interface, two types are provided:</p>
+<ul>
+<li id="GUID-87C3A645-D3F9-5D16-8B4C-CA3FE80AA7D3"><p>a table is an entire
+table in a database. Row ordering is either undefined, or by one of the table’s
+indexes. Fast key-based retrieval using an index can be performed on a table.
+The table is encapsulated in the derived class <codeph>RDbTable</codeph>.</p> </li>
+<li id="GUID-BC628D8C-BCC4-50AF-B1E3-93428CDB8506"><p>an SQL view is a rowset
+generated by an <keyword>SQL</keyword> query on a database, currently restricted
+to a single table. Cursor navigation is implemented by evaluating the view
+as necessary. Since evaluation may be expensive, a pre-evaluation window may
+be specified, allowing the rowset to be evaluated once and navigated quickly.
+The desired window is described by the <codeph>TDbWindow</codeph> class. Rowsets
+can also be evaluated in steps. The SQL view is encapsulated in the derived
+class <codeph>RDbView</codeph>. </p> </li>
+</ul>
