Storing and Retrieving Data - Summary

I just wanted to put some highlights taken away from this section. Chapter 5 presented insight about how to access Databases through the set of tools withing Microsoft (ADO.NET). I learned how to use ADO.NET to connect to a database and how to read, modify, and delete records from that database.

There are Four Layers to data access in ADO.NET:

The physical data store - A SQL, an OLE, or an Oracle database

The data provider - The Connection object and command objects that create the in-memory representation of the data

The data set - An in-memory representation of the tables and relationships that you work with in your application

The data view - Determines the presentation of a table in the data set
