1. However, there is no consistent definition of sequential access or sequentiality. 2. Direct access contrasts with the sequential access method used in tape drives. 3. Interleaving allowed a sequential access to occur immediately after the previous one. 4. :The outer edges are only faster for sequential access . 5. The KSDS organization was designed to replace ISAM, the Indexed Sequential Access Method. 6. This strategy enables the sequential access to a relation to be done in parallel. 7. This improved performance when doing sequential access . 8. Its purpose is to allow applications to store and retrieve data via indexed and sequential access . 9. A tape drive provides sequential access storage, unlike a hard disk drive, which provides direct access storage. 10. Concepts such as ISAM ( Indexed Sequential Access Method ) have been around since the early days of computing.
