Access Classes

 The four data buffer classes are: Rowset, Row, Record, and Field. These four classes
are the foundation for accessing component buffer data through the new object syntax.

 A FIELD OBJECT, which is instantiated from the Field class,

o It is a single instance of data within a record.
o It is based on a field definition.

 A RECORD OBJECT, which is instantiated from the Record class,

o It is a single instance of a data within a row.
o It is based on a record definition.
o A record object consists of one to n fields.

 A ROW OBJECT, which is instantiated from the Row class,

o It is a single row of data that consists of one to n records of data.
o A single row in a component scroll area is a row.
o A row may have one to n child rowsets.
o For example, a row in a level two scroll area may have n level three child rowsets.

 A ROWSET OBJECT
o It is a data structure used to describe hierarchical data.
o It is made up of a collection of rows.
o A component scroll area is a rowset. You can also have a level zero rowset.
The main points to understand the relationships are:
 A record contains one or more fields.
 A row contains one or more records and zero or more child rowsets.
 A rowset contains one or more rows.
