Difference between data source and data set?

Is it the same thing???

Hello vladmakienko

 

They are not the same, 

The datasource is where you are pulling your data from - eg SQL Server, Oracle etc 

The dataset is the actual data you pull ie your query or tables 

 

Hope this helps,

Gordon

 

If this suits please mark as correct
