A serial access file has data stored on it in the order in which it was written. Each new record goes at the end of the file. To read a record from the file it is necessary to read through all the preceding records first.


A sequential access file has data stored on it in the order of the data in a key field.



A direct access file is one where any record can be accessed without having to access other records first. This is also known as random access.

What is The Sequential File?

A sequential file is a type of file in which data is stored and retrieved in a linear, sequential order.
