File Rowset Considerations

The following are considerations for when you use rowsets with files.

  • Although you can create a File Layout definition with more than four levels of hierarchy, a rowset created from Component buffer data can contain only four levels (level zero through 3). Any additional levels of data are ignored.

  • ReadRowset populates the rowset with one transaction from the file. (A transaction is considered to be one instance of level zero data contained in a file record, plus all of its subordinate data.) WriteRowset writes one transaction to a file.
